Reading this chart

Self-help and money classics such as Atomic Habits and Rich Dad, Poor Dad hold places most days, because readers keep coming back to them. New entries are often set books for a course, a book behind a new film, or a title someone famous recommended.

Each entry shows the book and its author. Compare with the IMDb chart when an adaptation is out, as the original book often climbs in the same week.
