It all started in 1992 with a little book called Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. Expounding on the stunning concept that men and women aren't the same, love master John Gray penned wildly successful follow-ups that tracked M&V on a date, in the bedroom, and Starting Over (275,000 copies in print, three pressruns). But that's not all. Gray's become the guru of a self-help empire, peddling M&V seminars, a Broadway show, audiotapes, a magazine, and even a board game. Who knew miscommunication could be so profitable? FICTION WEEKS ON LIST
