Ian McEwan's new novel Solar only came out last Thursday, but it quickly sold enough to propel it to the top the our bestsellers list. Lee Child's 61 Hours is the first big crime/thriller book of 2010 and quickly rose up the bestselling list too.
In non-fiction, Waleed Aly's (above) Quarterly Essay is finally out and selling well. His apperance on ABC TV's Q&A last Monday no doubt helped sales along too.
