Who's Missing?

"Living History," Hillary Clinton's memoir, is the No. 10 nonfiction book on the most recent New York Times besteseller list, and it's been on the list for 16 weeks. But here's something odd. The Barnes & Noble Web site has its own list of "Year-to-Date Bestseller"--the "top 100 bestselling books for Barnes & Noble stores and Barnes & Noble.com, for January-September, 2003." Atop the list sits "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," followed by "The Da Vinci Code" and "The South Beach Diet." The list does include political books, including Ann Coulter's "Treason" (No. 41) and Al Franken's "Lies" (No. 42).

Maybe she should have named her book "Captain Krusty and the Big, Bad Battle of the VRWC".

Darn, they must have all sold out so fast that it didn't make the list. Shame I didn't get my copy while I could...NOT!!

Her Hindnesses book sales in China must be up!

But Hillary's book is nowhere to be found. The list only goes to No. 100, so there's no telling where she ranks, but it is below the No. 95 book, which is called--we kid you not--"Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part 1."

I have read that book...its so engrossing I couldnt put it down

Oh, haven't you heard? She has her own category. Can't remember if it was fictitious "non-fiction," "alleged autobiography by three unpaid ghostwriters" or "people who have to be on a best-selling list, even if they aren't."

Ha Ha Ha HA Ha!!!!!

Bump!

[speekinout]

There's no question about this one. Her book was rated high on the publisher's list. One of the criteria for her appearance at fund raisers was that they would "buy" a certain number of books. Noone ever "sold" many. But many were published and distributed.
BTW, what's the name of the Congressman who got sent to the pokey for "selling" his book the same way?

According to Professor Poopypants Name Change-O-Chart 2000 (ref. Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants):

Hillary Clinton = Cheeseball Gigglechunks
Hillary Rodham = Cheeseball Gizzardtushie

Living History = Booger Wafflebrains
