I am heartened to see that 4 of the 5 books are about hope, self-discovery anbd helping others. This world need so much of these! I'm also shappy to see #5.... people are actually leaving the theater and heading to the bookstore for follow -up!

I seriously doubt it. If he wasn't in the public eye so much and in the political position he is in no one would be interested, or very few.

Yeah that's what I thought too. I wonder what WOULD hve been numbers 3 & 4 then? Not to take anything away from Mr. Obama at all, but if it weren't an election year and him being in the limelight so much lately the line up would be so different.

Any idea what is selling really well over the pond?
