In Today's Book News....

Okay, I shouldn't poke fun at Madonna's literary efforts, but here's a link from USA Today about her next book. Wealth is overrated? Yes, but wouldn't that moral be more effective if she didn't like, uh, live in a castle?

According to the NY Post, (which we all know never lies), the Pope's September book has only sold about 18,000 copies. The Pope? And Jon Stewart's September book, "America," (it's hysterical, by the way), has sold 1.4 million copies. Now, wait a minute. Surely those numbers are wrong? I mean, aren't we a country of Bible-beating, right-wing red-states??? I know we are, because I saw it on CNN. Jon Stewart, beating out the Pope? Hmmmm….. You know, if Jon Stewart can get a foreword from Thomas Jefferson, maybe the Pope could get a foreword from God?

Not much else going on that's exciting in the book world.
Toodles…
