       Yes, CPNB have released De honderd bestverkochte boeken van het jaar -- the hundred bestselling books of the year (in the Netherlands) 2013 -- see the pdf CPNB Top 100 2013 for the full list and break-downs by categories.
       The top three -- with sales numbers:
  • Inferno by Dan Brown (376,775 copies sold)
  • En uit de bergen kwam de echo by Khaled Hosseini (234,422)
  • Stoner by John Williams (183,501)
       (And note that Williams' Butcher's Crossing came in a solid 64th, with 30-40,000 sold.)
       Donna Tartt's Het puttertje -- which, you'll recall, came out in Dutch before it came out in the original English ... -- was a respectable 21st (50-60,000 sold), given that it was a late-season publication.
       Tommy Wieringa topped the Dutch fiction category, while Laurent Binet's HHhH slipped onto the list for the third year in a row -- though only in 90th place (and is categorized as as 'narrative non-fiction' ... among which it still ranks ninth ...).
