>If it hadn't been for the comments of your readers previous to me here on your site, I'm so literal I would not have caught on to your April Fools' ploy--although I did have to wonder about Charlie Sheen's and Kate Middleton's books. I skimmed down the list too fast to really focus in on Michelle Obama's Quit Reading and Start Moving and some of the other titles.

i love the juxtaposition of charlie sheen, his tiger "juice," and the tiger mom and cubs. i thought we were year of the rabbit, but i guess the tigers just won't let go!
