Dominick Dunne spins the unspeakable stories of O.J., the
brothers Menendez, his own movie-star daughter's barely
punished murder, and more in
Justice:
Crimes, Trials, and Punishments. Other
top-selling guilty pleasures this week:
Natasha, about
Natalie Wood's evil, controlling mom, sad love life, and
horrific last days; Jackie Collins's
Hollywood
Wives: The New Generation; and
The
Dirt, the true tale of Mötley
Crüe, a rock band so ugly they actually nailed a guy's
ear to a table at a party (the next morning the nail was
still there but the guy was gone).

The
surprise bestseller of the week--of the month, in fact--is
Louis Menand's
The
Metaphysical Club: A Story of Ideas in
America. It's a startlingly entertaining quickie
history of pragmatism's Fab Four: Oliver Wendell Holmes,
William James, John Dewey, and the mysterious prodigy/loser
Charles Sanders Peirce. Also shockingly popular: Malcolm Gladwell's
breezy
The Tipping
Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big
Difference, about how ideas spread like
viruses. If you're smart, you will read these
books.
