Anthony Jones - Celebrity News Service Contributor Miami, FL (CNS) -- William P. Young's "The Shack" continues its weekly streak atop the Amazon Best Seller list. The Christian fiction novel about a man who has conversations with God after the murder of his 6-year-old daughter has been #1 on Amazon for weeks, driven by positive word-of-mouth and strong buzz. "Buyology: Truth and Lies About What We Buy" debuts in the #2 position this week on the Amazon Best Seller list. The book, written by marketing expert Martin Lindstrom, takes the findings from a three-year, seven million dollar neurological marketing study and answers questions about what makes people shop the way they do, including reactions to logos, subliminal messaging, and product placement. The book, released last week, was featured on NBC's The Today Show, ABC News and USA Today. The four books in the "Twilight" saga take the next 4 positions on the Amazon Best Seller List. "Eclipse", Book 3 in the series, takes the #3 position, while "Breaking Dawn", Book 4, is #4. "Twilight" is #5 this week and "New Moon", Book 2 in the hugely successful vampire saga, is #6. Expect to see the books in the Top 10 for a good while as the series' popularity will only strengthen as the first film adaptation of "Twilight" hits theaters on November 21st. The rest of the Top 10 are mainstays from the previous weeks, including "The Love Dare" by Alex and Stephen Kendrick, a Christian marriage guide featured in the film "Fireproof", at #7, and "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life" by Alice Schroeder at #8. The Oprah Book Club pick "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski is #9 this week, while "Eragon" sequel "Brisingr" by Christopher Paolini rounds out the Top 10 this week.
