The Stranger reports what it considers to be “the New York Times best-seller list of stolen books” as part of an article written by someone who’s worked at an independent bookstore for eight years. I believe they only bring in the Times metaphorically, though, and that the list is only anecdotal.

The “authoritative top five” supposedly are:

1. Charles Bukowski
2. Jim Thompson
3. Philip K. Dick
4. William S. Burroughs
5. Any Graphic Novel

I’d always heard that the Bible topped any such list, but that might be apocryphal.
