Sarah Palin's 'Going Rogue: An American Life,' which topped several bestseller lists prior to its release, has now conquered the mother of them all by taking the top spot on the New York Times list.
For the week of December 6, Palin's book has taken over at #1, knocking Andre Agassi's "Open" down to #2. Palin is among the three conservative writers who fill in spots in the top five, with Glenn Beck's "Arguing With Idiots" at #4, and Mike Huckabee's "A Simple Christmas" at #5.
"Going Rogue" was released on November 17.
Late Update: HarperCollins confirmed that Palin's book has now sold more than a million copies.

Too bad sales aren't broken down to show the zillions of units bulk-purchased by various right-wing organizations. If they were I suspect her book would not be doing so well.

Usually the NYT Book Review will put a dagger or some such icon next to a title whose sales have been influenced by bulk sales. Let's see if this is the case with G.R., as it should be.

Brilliant, beautiful best-selling author Sarah Palin banishes balderdash in her blockbuster biography, "Going Rogue". Buyers become believers.

Can a book actually decrease literacy?
