1. And the Mountains Echoed By Khaled Hosseini (Viking Canada, $30.00)
And the Mountains Echoed, an instant hit, is getting interactive. Its publishers marked the book's release with the launch of The Echo Project (echoproject.ca), a lavish multimedia site where readers are invited to offer contributions – film, sound, image – that correspond with each of the novel's 402 pages. Maybe that's what keeps it selling.
