Amazon has a section on their site for "Early Adopter Books." Their description of what that means...

These are the newest and coolest products our customers of Books are buying. This list, updated daily, is based entirely on purchase patterns.

My father's book is the number one early adopter in their "health, mind and body" section. Number two is Dr. Laura Schlessinger's new book. And my father's book comes out a whole five months after hers!

Upon seeing this, Anthony's mouth went agape. All he said was, "Dad's bigger than Dr. Laura."

Today I see that the book is the number FIVE early adopter for ALL BOOKS on Amazon.com. What's fun, is to go down the list and find all the authors I've heard of or even read. It's also a complete mindfuck.

For instance... McSweeney's Issue 13... it's sitting on my coffee table. It's number nineteen on the list.

#22 - Just a Geek - Wil Wheaton ... I had no idea Wil Wheaton had a book out, now I want to read this.

#64 - The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green - Joshua Braff... Zack Braff's brother's new novel... Garden State mastermind Zack Braff.

This concludes today's mindfuck.

Yes I have a coffee table in my bedroom. I stole it from the living room some time ago.
