Christopher Paolini's Eldest still ranks high on Amazon lists, but hasn't yet cracked print lists, though it debuts today at #132 on the USA Today list.
Bret Easton Ellis' Lunar Park (Knopf), a metafictional/autobiographical horror novel, debuts on several lists, as high as #6 on San Francisco Chronicle's hardcover fiction list.
Also debuting this week: David & Leigh Eddings' Crystal Gorge (Warner Aspect) at #31 on the New York Times fiction hardcover list; and Patrick Carman's YA novel Beyond the Valley of Thorns (Orchard), sequel to The Dark Hills Divide, at #2 on the NYT children's hardcover/chapter book list.
