“Stupid White Men” is finally no longer the number one non-fiction book in Austria …

… replaced this week by “Downsize This!” — by Michael Moore! “Stupid White Men” sits at number two. This according to the Kleine Zeitung. Both books are in German.

Also, today I visited a nearby Amadeus (large bookstore akin to Barnes and Noble in America). They have one prominent display table full of nothing but Moore’s “Downsize This!”, stacks of them, and then in the current events section the same book also has a complete shelf to itself — I could find no other book that had a complete shelf or table to itself. The books on the display table sit atop a scrunched-up United States flag. Wonderful.
