Author's sales jump after Osama mentions book

William Blum's "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower" was ranked 209,000 on Amazon.com's sales list before bin Laden mentioned it in an audiotape released on Thursday. By Friday, the book was No. 30 on the Amazon.com list.

Bin Laden said al Qaeda group was preparing more attacks in the United States but also told Americans, "It is useful for you to read the book 'The Rogue State.'" ...

... "I was glad. I knew it would help the book's sales and I was not bothered by who it was coming from[," Blum said.]

So, what's next on the list for Osama's Book Club? If I may make a suggestion, I think "Citizen You!" needs to be bumped above No. 568,922.
