In Light of Presidential Victory, Obama’s Book Sales Soar

With his path to the White House clearly paved, president-elect Barack Obama is now seeing sales of his three bestselling books skyrocket. Almost immediately after his presidential win, Dreams from My Father (1995), Change We Can Believe In (2009), and The Audacity of Hope (2006), shot up the Amazon.com bestseller list.

Dreams from My Father was Obama’s first book, published even before his election to the senate. The memoir chronicles his unorthodox childhood and celebrates the cultural inheritance and familial legacy left to him by his Kenyan father. As of this writing, the book is #2 on the Amazon list.

Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama’s Plan to Renew America’s Promise was put together by Obama for America — with a foreword by Barack — and the net proceeds of the book are being donated to charity. Holding steady at Amazon’s #11 slot, this volume outlines in detail the president-elect’s plan to revitalize the country, told with the no-nonsense, clear-headed specifics we’ve come to expect from him.

In the #1 spot is The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, in which Obama expands upon the themes mentioned in his unforgettable speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. In addition to exploring his own personal views on faith and values, the book presents Obama’s vision for America: fixing a lacking political process and bringing back a government that is in touch with the American people.

And with his win last night, I think we’re well on our way to making this vision a reality.

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.







      WHAT IS A SNARK?




      The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

      But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
