Hillary no longer #1

A. Scott Berg's Kate Remembered takes over the best seller spot in his hometown L.A. Times Book Review (he did it last week in the New York Times). Living History falls all the way to #5, but Clinton is still ahead of Coulter here and in New York. Among locals, Bruce McNall elbows his way onto the lower end of the list (#13), and novelists with mysteries set in Los Angeles, Paula L. Woods (#8) and Kelly Lange (#13), both arrive on the fiction list. Also, there's a review by Scott Timberg of the new Ray Bradbury anthology and the Westwords column by Jonathan Kirsch reviews the Hollywood satire, Maneater: A Novel by Gigi Levangie Grazer.

To snag a man, Clarissa is perfectly willing to conceal or distort every detail of her nature and experience — "her age, religion (Episcopalian at the Bel-Air Country Club, Jewish at Hillcrest), mating habits, hair color, plastic surgeries, level of education, her mother's nose job, her upbringing, her downfall, her rehab stay(s), the number of pregnancies she'd experienced — three — without an actual birth — and that she lied to anyone at any time for any reason."

"And then," allows Clarissa, "there's a small part of me that wants to fall in love."

The movie rights have already been sold. Did I mention that the author, who is also a screenwriter, is the wife of producer Brian Grazer?
