Chris Grieb Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It behind the Twilight series and the three Obama books. I must add that it is one of the few books on the list that is over fifty years old.Could it have something to do with the stock market and new administration?

Reidy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 #70 at the moment, and the only book that's not recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think the recent Wall Street Journal article may have given it a little bit of a boost. It was on their most emailed list for several days. Also, it's a good book so go to Amazon and buy copies for all your friends. Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Grieb Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Kat; You have friends you haven't given it to. I must add that I agree with your explanation for the book's current success. I have a feeling that in a sense Obama may be very good for Rand and Objectivism. He may not be as good for the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidy Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 So Obama will be remembered for something after all (by our childrens' children). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Grieb Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 A check today shows Atlas at 66 on the Amazon best seller list. It was reported by Stephan Hicks that the top 400 titles is 1 % of the books that Amazon sells. So being in the top one hundred means any book in the one hundred is in the top .25%.

Chris Grieb Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Atlas is at 100 on Amazon best seller list. The book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is higher and has been out longer but Atlas is the oldest novel.It is worth noting that "The Forgotten Man" is also on the list. I wish Obama would read both books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Chris:How do you know he didn't?My question is how many of use read Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinskyhttp://www.itvs.org/democraticpromise/alinsky.htmlhttp://www.infed.org/thinkers/alinsky.htmAdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaalChatzaf Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Adam; I must confess I haven't although I had heard of Alinsky before Obama came on the scene.In at least one of my postings here I referred to Obama as Saul Ailinsky's spiritual grandson. The worst possible combination: The (old) Mayor Daley corruption and thuggery conjoined with Ailinsky's toxic left wing agenda. Vey ist mehr! If you want to see how they do it in Springfield just look at the recent impeachment and removal of Blago. The boys in the Illinois legislature pushed him under a bus, Chicago Style.Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Grieb Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 I noticed that Atlas was in the Amazon top 100 yesterday (2-19). Did Atlas cause the riot at the Chicago Trade Mart ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
