Oh yeah, there's a book too - April 26, 2008 09:21 AM


This blog has been totally about the movie thus far. But it all started in a book I wrote (also called I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell), which has done pretty well.

In fact, last week marked a full year--52 total weeks--on the New York Times Best Seller list. I know the THR article said it had spent three years on the best seller list, but that's not quite right. It appeared on the list in 2006, 2007, and 2008 for a TOTAL of one year over the course of three years.

But as nice as it is to be on the premier best seller list in the world, this one may be better, if it's true (I'm trying to confirm it now--if any of you have access to the Thai best seller list, please email me). This is an email I just got:
