Nobody wants the truth?

Everyone predicted Bill Clinton’s memoir as the summer’s hottest book. It sold predictably—fast out of the gate, but slower around the bends. Meanwhile, the 9/11 Commission Report is one of the fastest selling books at my store ever (I do not know this for sure without checking records, but I am reasonalby sure). I suppose I just find it interesting that more people want to read what I imagine is a dry government document than the sexy memoirs of an ex-president. Just goes to show you what the book people know. That is, not much.
