Top 5 Campus Best Sellers (Last Month)

Share
I assume by last month, I am referring to April...so let's get on with it...eh?

April's Top 5 Campus Best Sellers:


Food Rules by Michael Pollan

"Pollan makes the best list again! This time with Food Rules. A must have for anyone who enjoys eating delicious food. This book consists of sixty-four food rules and a short explanation. He writes that he is still collecting food rules and if you, dear reader, have any that you would like to share, send them to pollanfoodrules@gmail.com. I personally would like to see some food rules on my five favorite food groups of all time: Cheese, Bread, Chocolate, Beer, and Potatoes. 'Nuff said."




Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

"Movies always generate interest in the original story and this is no exception. The Lightning Thief, first written in 2005, is the first in the series about Percy Jackson and his friends. If you have younger siblings, (or in mine and Heather's case, oodles of nieces and nephews) we highly recommend this book. Greek Mythology has never been more entertaining. And on a side note: we need to devote more time to the word *oodles.* 'Nuff said."



13 Bankers by Simon Johnson and James Kwak.
(Is that pronounced like "quack?" Mull over that!) Anyways, The authors examine not only how Wall Street's ideology, wealth, and political power among policy makers in Washington led to the financial debacle of 2008, but also what the lessons learned portend to for the future. 'Nuff said."



The Bone Thief by Jefferson Bass

"No Suprise here- Dr. Bass and Jon Jefferson have another hit with The Bone Thief. For those of you who are new to UT or have been living under the proverbial rock, Dr. Bass is the founder of the Body Farm, which is located here on UT Knoxville campus. 'Nuff said."




Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith

"Interesting how one author has a fun, quirky idea, sells millions of copies, and suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon...BUT sometimes it works. Like Dawn of the Dreadfuls works and was a hot seller last month. Winess the genesis of the zombie plague in early 19th-century England in this terrifying and hilarious prequel to the bestselling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Watch as Elizabeth Bennet evolves from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. 'Nuff said."
