2009 Bestseller list
It’s time for the 2009 bestseller list. These are books purchased last year through this website from readers either going through the Amazon portals on the page (more about which later) or clicking on Amazon links appearing in many of the posts when books are mentioned. As always, these are all the books purchased that are not books MD and I wrote or co-wrote.
The number one winner going away was Lierre Kieth’s brilliant The Vegetarian Myth. If you haven’t read it, grab a copy ASAP. For those of you who don’t know, Lierre was recently the victim of an assault at a San Francisco reading. Masked thugs came out from behind the stage and smashed her in the head and face with pies laced with cayenne pepper. After the assault took place, while Lierre was trying to get the burning pepper out of her eyes, the audience (of mainly vegetarians) cheered. It was truly disgusting. Richard Nikoley and Tom Naughton reported on the assault here and here. Jimmy Moore has a interview with Lierre about the attack here. Tom Naughton proposes a rationale for such behavior here.
It appears that militant vegans have secured Lierre’s name and other versions of her name on Twitter and are mounting a vicious smear campaign against her. Purchase her book to fight back. Success is her best revenge.
A quick post just to let everyone know that I’m still among the living and that I haven’t given up posting for good.
Due to other commitments tomorrow and Monday (see below for the Monday commitment) I more than likely won’t be able to get the promised post up before Tuesday. I was working away on it this afternoon (actually alternating between writing the post and dealing with comments) when my bride came in and whined for me to go to a movie I didn’t really want to see. But, being the dutiful and obliging spouse that I am, I went. And I was glad I did.
Is the body in the photo at left the new look for today’s man? If so, it appears that MD and I may have missed the boat yet again.
