Hugo Chavez boost sales of Noam Chomsky's book

In his "devil and sulfur" talk Hugo Chavez referred to President Bush on Wednesday, Chavez held up a book by Noam Chomsky, "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance," and recommended it to the General Assembly and he added: "I think that the first people who should read this book are our brothers and sisters in the United States, because the threat is in their own house. The Devil is right at home. The Devil, the Devil, himself, is right in the house." The next day Chavez adressed "The people of the United States should read this ... instead of the watching Superman movies," he told reporters later on his viral marketing tour in New York. One day later, "Hegemony or Survival," first published in 2003, had rocketed into the top 10 on Amazon, where it was ranked 20,664 the day before, and Barnes & Noble.com, from a previous ranking of 748. As of Friday night, the book was No. 1 on Amazon and No. 2 on Barnes & Noble. Noam Chomsky, 77-year-old linguist, has long been an critic of U.S. foreign policy. His other books include "9-11," a best-selling collection of interviews, and "Failed States,".
