It’s time for the 2009 bestseller list. These are books purchased last year through this website from readers either going through the Amazon portals on the page (more about which later) or clicking on Amazon links appearing in many of the posts when books are mentioned. As always, these are all the books purchased that are not books MD and I wrote or co-wrote. The number one winner going away was Lierre Kieth’s brilliant The Vegetarian Myth . If you haven’t read it, grab a copy ASAP. For those of you who don’t know, Lierre was recently the victim of an assault at a San Francisco reading. Masked thugs came out from behind the stage and smashed her in the head and face with pies laced with cayenne pepper. After the assault took place, while Lierre was trying to get the burning pepper out of her eyes, the audience (of mainly vegetarians) cheered. It was truly disgusting. Richard Nikoley and Tom Naughton reported on the assault here and here . Jimmy Moore has a interview with Lierre about the attack here . Tom Naughton proposes a rationale for such behavior here . It appears that militant vegans have secured Lierre’s name and other versions of her name on Twitter and are mounting a vicious smear campaign against her. Purchase her book to fight back. Success is her best revenge. Here are the books in descending order. #1 The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Kieth. My review here . #2 Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson
