Sarah under Bill? Somewhere, he’s got a big smile on his face.
Not for long.
I am going to bet she ends up outselling Blill Clinton’s book, which sold 1.5 million if I remember correctly. She will beat Hilary Clinton’s book(total sales 1.3 million) by 4 weeks time.
"As America struggles with hard times and people turn more to their beliefs, Mitch and the two men of God explore issues that perplex modern man: how to endure when difficult things happen; what heaven is; intermarriage; forgiveness; doubting God; and the importance of faith in trying times. Although the texts, prayers and histories are different, Albom begins to realize a striking unity between the two worlds - and indeed, between beliefs everywhere.
In the end, as the rabbi nears death and a harsh winter threatens the pastor’s wobbly church, Albom sadly fulfills the last request and writes the eulogy. And he finally understands what both men had been teaching all along: the profound comfort of believing in something bigger than yourself. Have a Little Faith is a book about a life’s purpose; about losing belief and finding it again; about the divine spark inside us all. It is one man’s journey, but it is everyone’s story."
And yet, on today’s Podcast by Tanenhaus, he said that
#1 was The Open. . .
“...has the NYT reviewed Governor Palin’s book yet...”
I believe they did review it. I don’t think it got a good review, but that would have been too much to expect.
But their empty heads must be exploding with Palin, Beck & Huckabee dominating the list.
There may be a lot of people like me. I haven’t been in a hurry to buy Sarah’s book because this is my busy season. But I do plan to buy it as a birthday gift for myself. I figure she is going to need us procrastinators to keep her numbers up. Besides, Christmas is coming and I’ll bet her sales will stay up through the gift season.
Thank you.
Dang, McLame has written 4 books? Who knew!
Go Sarah
TWO of the 5. Unless Mitch Albom is a conservative? Because Huckabee is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And he probably is lying about where he got the sheep’s wool.
What a slamming review. They had to really work hard to come up with their nasty points. And don’t they allow comments on book reviews, like they do on movies?
Because while the government and the media are going to hell in a handbasket, mainstream America isn’t. There truly is hope. We just have to look for it in the right places.
Praise God for Sarah. May God protect and guide her and fulfill the purpose He has for her.
He's a smarmy liberal who on his radio show (WJR) ranted about how unqualified and stupid Palin is
and how ridiculous it is to even consider her for VP or Pres.
Steven King would make a great VP pick, by the way.
OK, not THAT Steven King. Rep. Steven King from Iowa. He scares liberals even more.
The interesting thing, then, is that I’d bet that Nielson isn’t counting all those Newsmax offers, etc.
"What was it you said about me, exactly...?"
No.
They don't even count sales from Walmart or Target either. So all those great deals on Sarah Palin’s book from Walmart, Target etc were not even counted, and she still outsold Hilary Clinton's book and vastly outsold Obummer’s book.
Now I’m really curious how skewed Nielsen is to “blue-state” book stores (Barnes and Noble, Borders) over “red-state” book stores (Amazon, Walmart).
