So the top ten is filled with diet books and cooks books in almost equal measure. Interesting indeed, especially if they're being purchased by the same people (sweet torture to skim through a book of glossy cake photographs, I'd have thought). Incidentally, what's quicker: a Fast Diet, or a 2-Day diet? I'm seeing a gap in the market for my own entree into the field; The Really Fast, 24 Hour Diet: Cake is Never More than a Day Away. Beats the Atkins at any rate. Incidentally, as I have the metabolism of a 7 year old boy still, I'm probably not really allowed to comment, but wouldn't we all do better to just eat healthily and take regular exercise? Does a 48 hour diet really provide lasting results? I'm probably a cynic, but I'd still rather a happy friend than a skinny one. Anyway, I'm dangerously out of my depth here, but thankfully those ramblings do mean I don't have time to write about Jeffrey Archer's new book - hurrah!
