Barack Obama Fights Off Vampires For #1 On The Amazon Best Seller List

Miami, FL (CNS) -- President Elect Barack Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope, is #1 on Amazon's Best Seller List this week and the only thing keeping Stephenie Meyer's entire "Twilight" saga from the top spot. Obama's second book was released in 2006 but is at the top on the strength of his victory in the United States election, although I'm sure Amazon's sales price of just $4.39 isn't hurting.

Obama's second entry in the Top 10, the #1 New York Times Best-Seller Dreams from My Father, is at #7 this week, also benefitting from a low sales price.

The four books in the "Twilight" series take the next 4 positions on the Amazon Best Seller List. Breaking Dawn, the most recent book in the series released in August, is at #2 for the week, while Eclipse, Book 3 of the saga, is at #3. New Moon, Book 2, is at #4 this week and the original, Twilight, is at #5.The books should be Top 10 mainstays for a while as the series' popularity will only strengthen with first film adaptation of "Twilight" hitting theaters on November 21st.

William P. Young's The Shack, the Christian fiction novel which was #1 on Amazon for weeks, drops down to #6 this week.

Actor/comedian Artie Lange's Too Fat To Fish, written alongside Anthony Bozza, is at #8 this week. The bio follows the comedian from childhood to his rise to comedy. He is a long-running cast member of the Howard Stern Show.

CNN host Glenn Beck's latest book, The Christmas Sweater, is #9. He's written #1 best-sellers like An Inconvenient Book, but Beck reveals a personal story with a holiday twist in his new book. Pre-orders for The Tales of Beetle the Bard land J.K. Rowling's latest at #10 for the week.
