Top 5 Books on the NY Times Bestseller List (Fiction) for March 27th 2011

Here are the Top 5 books on the New York Times Fiction Bestseller list for the week ending March 27th 2011

1 - The Jungle - Clive Cussler with Jack Du Brul (Debut)

From Publishers Weekly
Juan Cabrillo and his crew of mercenaries engage in one daring rescue operation after another with progressively higher stakes in Cussler's high-octane eighth Oregon Files novel (after The Silent Sea), his sixth collaboration with Du Brul. The rescue of a kidnap victim, an Indonesian teenage boy, from an Afghan village, yields a bonus in the form of MacD Lawless, a former U.S. Army Ranger, who proves of immediate value. Betrayals, more rescues, and escapes follow as one mysterious man seeks world domination using a discovery linked to 13th-century China. Cabrillo's handpicked team members, who operate from their state-of-the-art ship, the Oregon, are the only chance to stop a plot that threatens to bring the U.S. government to its knees. The frenetic action moves from Afghanistan to Singapore and the Burmese jungle with lots of derring-do at sea before climaxing in a surprising locale in a fashion sure to delight series fans.

3 -  The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfuss (2nd week on list)

#1 on the NY Times Bestseller List

A new feature here on the Completeist. Each time there is a new book to go to #1 on the NY Times Hardback Fiction and/or Non Fiction list I will post it here. I will also give updates from the NY Times Book Section and look at past #1 fiction/non fiction bestsellers.
I have been collecting as many of the former #1 bestsellers as I can find so this is a passion of mine (well books and reading overall) and I will have a posting later on a bestselling author of a top non fiction book from the 40s that was later forced to resign from public office due to his personal life choice.

Here are the new #1 bestsellers this week. Both are debut in top spot this week.



Jodi Picoult is back on the top of the fiction list with "House Rules" .
She hits #1 almost a year to the day her last novel "Handle With Care" topped the bestseller list.



The former Massachusetts Governor tops the Non Fiction list for the first time with "No Apologies : The Case for American Greatness"
