Chavez Gift is #2 on Amazon
Katie Connolly
Eduardo Galeano should write a thank you note to Hugo Chavez today because thanks to him, Galeano's 1971 text "The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" is the
second best-selling book on Amazon.com

But never fear, judging by the complete top ten list, the America we know and love isn't being overtaken by highly politicized literature: Stephanie Meyer's teen vampire romance novels still hold five spots in the top ten.
