Gloria Steinem tops our bestsellers list after an amazing sold-out event last week. Every audience member received a copy of Steinem’s memoir, My Life on the Road, in which she shares a candid account of her life as a traveler, listener and activist.

Last week’s bestsellers also includes two recent literary prize winners (The Sympathizer, The Natural Way of Things), two compelling non-fiction reads about Australian politics and culture (Stop at Nothing, Talking to My Country), and a new novel from philosopher Alain de Botton (The Course of Love).
