Palin Already a Best Seller.

This should drive liberals nuts… Sarah Palin’s book hasn’t even been released yet and it’s already a best seller:

Sarah Palin’s forthcoming memoir, “Going Rogue,” has reached the top spot on the Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com sales rankings – more than a month and a half before it will hit bookshelves on November 17th.

The ranking is based on preorders of the book by the former Republican presidential candidate and Alaska governor who resigned in July, before the end of her gubernatorial term.

Palin, working with author Lynn Vincent, finished “Going Rogue” more quickly than initially planned, prompting the book’s release date to be moved up from the spring. It took the pair about four months to write the 400-page memoir, which her publisher describes as “her words, her life.”

I wonder how they’ll rationalize this?

Sarah Palin’s Memoir, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” to be Release November 17th

Sarah Palin has finished her memoir, the 400 page book titled “Going Rogue: An American Life,” is set to be released on November 17th:

Sarah Palin’s forthcoming 400-page memoir, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” will hit bookshelves just in time for the holiday shopping season.

More than 1.5 million copies of Palin’s first book are expected in stores by Nov. 17, according to publisher HarperCollins. That’s as many copies as publishers printed of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s memoir, “True Compass,” after his death last month.

Palin, the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate, completed her manuscript weeks ahead of schedule and four months after signing the book deal. The book had been slated for release in the spring.

“Gov. Palin has been unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage, investing herself deeply and passionately in this project,” Jonathan Burnham of HarperCollins told the Associated Press. “It’s her words, her life and it’s all there in full and fascinating detail.”

Palin told Alaska’s Anchorage Daily News in May that her memoir will provide an unfiltered forum as “there have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate.”

Palin, 45, reportedly did most of the work on her memoir in San Diego, Calif., after resigning the Alaska governorship in July with more than a year left in her first term.

I just pre-ordered my copy from Amazon.

Two Quick and Dirty Book Reviews

I finished First Daughter by Eric Van Lustbader a couple of weeks ago… The plot revolves around the kidnapping of the President Elects daughter and the investigation to find her before the inauguration. The basic story had a lot of potential but was ultimately ruined by a what I thought was a heavy undercurrent of anti-religious bigotry that runs throughout the book… I’m not sure if it was the author trying to insert his personal views into the story or if it was just a plot device. Either way it ruined what could have been a good read.

I’m currently reading Dark Horse by Ralph Reed… The book is political thriller about a third party run for presidency. I’m about three quarters of the way through it, it’s an excellent read.
