CarrollBlog 11.12

Another writer told me a story while I was on this recent tour. He says it's true so I assume it is. A friend of his works in a big bookstore in Miami. One day a middle aged woman comes in and asks for the number one book on the New York Times bestseller list. The salesman says sorry, but we're sold out of that right now. We should have it back in stock in a few days. However we do have number 2 and all of the others books on the NY Times list. Indignant, the woman says "Absolutely not; I never read anything but the number one." And she walked out of the store.
