BEST-SELLERS

SEBASTIAN IS HOT

Ol' Blue Eyes is back. Uber-male Sebastian Junger, best-selling author of The Perfect Storm, returns with another tribute to the elements. Fire, whose flames were fanned by author appearances on the Today show, Good Morning America, PrimeTime Thursday, and a 20-city tour, lands at No. 6 in nonfiction. But will Junger be man enough to usurp the throne from Jack Welch? Meanwhile, Judith Miller's timely Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War lurks at No. 14. Jonathan Franzen spooks Stephen King out of fiction's top spot. With a huge bump in sales courtesy of Oprah's Book Club, The Corrections rights itself at No. 1.
