Sex is so passe and so is sex trilogy! A year after EL James S&M-themed 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' cracked down all best-seller lists, readers and buyers seems to have moved on to other thrills now. And this year's numero uno best-seller certainly proves so!
According to Amazon, world's largest online retailer of books, the best-selling book of 2013 is Dan Brown's latest Robert Langdon caper 'Inferno' - the fourth in the series made famous by the Da Vinci Code. Khaled Hosseini's 'And The Mountains Echoed' ranked second.
The best-sellers for kids and teenagers were Veronica Roth's 'Allegiant' and Rick Riordan's 'The Houses of Hades'.
Other major hits on Amazon.com were 'The Cuckoo's Calling', a crime story JK Rowling wrote under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, and John Grisham's 'Sycamore Row'.
Sylvia Day's erotic fiction 'Entwined With You' too ranked among this year's best-sellers.
Among the non-fiction books, Sheryl Sandberg's 'Lean In and Things That Matter', an anthology of essays by conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer ranked on top.
