Number FOUR, suckas!
Yangfa just posted this on SiGneL:
=======================
according to the Sunday Times 8 October 2006 edition of LifeStyle, "SQ21: Singapore Queers in the 21st Century" has gone up to the number 4 spot in the list of non-fiction bestsellers.
it's the only book in the top 5 without a financial/business element, & beating "Singapore: The Encyclopedia" (at no. 7 - in which homosexuality is not given a single mention), "Ten" (by Vincent Ng, at no. 8) & Neil Humphreys at no. 9.

UPDATE: Here's the list!
Bestsellers - Non-fiction
==========================
1. Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires by Adam Khoo
2. Get Rich with Water by Lillian Too
3. One Business, 99 Lessons by Nanz Chong-Komo
4. SQ21: Singapore Queers in the 21st Century by Ng Yi-Sheng
5. Freakonomics by Steven D Leavitt & Stephen J Dubner
6. The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
7. Singapore: The Encyclopedia edited by Tommy Koh et al

9. Final Notes from a Great Island by Neil Humphreys
10. Marley & Me by John Grogan
============================
Pretty incredible, huh? Last month it was no.6, and I was already amazed at that. It's especially thrilling to me that we beat a book with a bare-bodied wushu champion on the cover - but then again, Get Rich With Water?????
