Publisher printing more copies of George Orwell's '1984' after spike in demand
Quote:
On Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning the book was #1 on Amazon's computer-generated list of best-selling books. The list reflects hourly book sales. The 68-year-old novel appeared on the list on Monday, hovered around the #6 spot for much of the day, rose to #2 by Tuesday afternoon and then hit #1. Lower down on Amazon's best sellers list are two other classic novels with similar themes: "It Can't Happen Here," by Sinclair Lewis, and "Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley. Details: http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/25/medi...4-best-seller/ Best comment on this story is from The San Diego Union-Tribune: You saw it here first: Donald Trump has made America read again.

You do not seem to be familiar with the tradition going back to the time of George Washington called making fun of the president. This is understandable if you are very young since for the last eight years no one has ever said anything negative about President Obama.
