Top Reads: Reza Aslan's ZEALOT Tops Amazon Best Sellers List, Week Ending 8/4

Since there's no end-all-be-all 'best seller' list, BWW Books has rounded up both The New York Times' top sellers as well as Amazon's - providing you with your one-stop look at this week's top reads!

It looks like Reza Aslan can thank Fox News for the infamous interview that gave his book ZEALOT: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JESUS OF NAZARETH an unstoppable Internet following and a place at No. 1 on this week's Amazon Best Seller List.

Following the news that 'Robert Galbraith' had been unmasked as HARRY POTTER author J.K. Rowling, her latest novel THE CUCKOO'S CALLING has soared to the top of The New York Times Best Seller List, and is still sticking strong at No. 2 on Amazon.

Also on The New York Times side, Daniel Silva's THE ENGLISH GIRL and Danielle Steel's FIRST SIGHT have bumped Dan Brown's INFERNO down to No. 4. Mark Leibovich's THiS TOWN was the best selling non-fiction work of the week.
