Sarah Palin Memoir More Popular Than Other Fictional Conspiracy Theorist Dan Brown

Will Sarah Palin be the Barack Obama of book publishing? Last fall Obama’s election and inauguration gave newspaper and magazines a much-needed boost. Looks like Palin is set to do the same for book publishng: Apparently the world is actually pretty eager to hear from Sarah Palin, about Sarah Palin.

Yesterday news broke that she had completed her memoir “Going Rogue” in just four months and that it would hit bookshelves November 17, far ahead of its original Spring pub date. Today the memoir has gone rogue on the Barnes and Nobles bestseller list, knocking over both Dan Brown and Mitch Albom on BN.com to grab the top spot.
Over at Amazon, ‘Rogue’ is currently clocking in at number three, behind Dan Brown (#1) and…Glenn Beck who holds the #2 spot.

Which makes me wonder if there is some sort of Facebook vs. MySpace cultural survey to be done on the shopping habits of people who use BN.com over Amazon. Are BN.com city dwellers? They do offer same-day delivery in Manhattan.

Anyway! There is alas no “look inside” feature for Palin’s listing so as it stands your pre-order will have to be a sort of faith-based initiative.
