It’s now at #6 (and at #1 in Nonfiction). Her 2004 title, Freethinkers: a History of American Secularism also received a bump. It is now at #72.

Not Quite What I Was Planning:
Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure
- Paperback: 240 pages
- Publisher: Harper Perennial (February 5, 2008)
- ISBN-10: 0061374059
- ISBN-13: 978-0061374050
This wasn’t reviewed in the pre-pub sources and therefore is not available in the libraries I checked. It has been getting a lot of attention in the press, including The New Yorker and NPR’s “Talk of the Nation.” It reached a high of #73 yesterday and is now at #127. The book started as a contest in the online magazine SMITH; “Your life story in six words.”
