NYTimes best seller list

The list is out...I can't find what do we do now anywhere. How about anyone else? Or is there an obscure list somewhere that I am not looking at properly?

Paper back is very hard to compete in:

Paperback Advice - List - NYTimes.com

Paperback Nonfiction - List - NYTimes.com

(GO BUY ANOTHER BOOK, THEY NEED TO GET THIS BITCH INTO THIRD PRINTING QUICK!)

So what is their next move...it sounded like they were convinced they were going to make some list of any sort. I mean they pushed and pushed this thing and kind of fizzled it despite all the hype. Is this the end of KATG or can they continue the show without a steady flow of new income from advertisers or will they continue to go to the same well (the listeners)

Time will tell, I am curious to see the spin on this

Spin, really?

You're a douche.

A first time author going into second printing in a week is amazing.

The numbers they posted on amazon were amazing.

Their publishers love them.

Spin my ass.

Why do I have a feeling you are apart of the dreaded 9% assholes

Breaking top 200 books sold list on amazon was a huge deal. The fact that this book is on its second printing in first week is a huge deal for first time author's with no real celebrity status.

What we do now is still read the book and continue recommending it to people. I got a few of my friends to buy copies. Continue to spread the word.

Easy guys, I never said their results were not impressive...THEY said they expect to be on the top of "all these lists". They are not. Fact. They also have a tendency to shit all over anything that does not live up to their hype.

I have listened all the way back to around show 150 and these two have shat upon practically every profession from teachers to doctors to lawyers. I am simply curious to see how they are going to justify not achieving their very public goals.

The book that they shat on last week (Never look fat again) is number 94 on Amazon and number 7 on the NY times bestseller list and they both agreed this book is retarded...

While I usually disagree with Keith when he starts shitting on things, him and Chemda generally shit on things for doing something poorly, not for not hitting their some goal.

Shooting for NY Times best seller is a good thing, missing it does not mean failure, at all.

Never look fat again might sell more, but it is a shit book. If you can't parse that, the failure is yours.

Your acting like Keith and the Girl have to justify each and everyone of their goals.

Do you have to justify when you don't reach a personal goal and make up excuses?

Seriously not all goals can be achieved but its good to have them otherwise you become complacent in your shit 9-5, shit relationship, in your shit apartment, on your shitty bed.

There is no need to spin it and make it sound like Keith and the Girl are now just going to make excuses. They did their best. Let me guess a 76hour podcast to promote their book wasn't enough, they need to do a 150hour podcast to promote for their next? Maybe instead of 1000+ hour episodes is not enough. They should wait until they have a babillion epsiodes. Or maybe the fans should have been camping out in front of the book store for a week to get media attention.

Seriously, imezru, stop being a 9% douche-bag.

Sarah Palin's book was number one on The New York Times Best Seller list for nine weeks. That does not make it, or her, any less retarded.

I see What do We Do Now as number 9 on Amazon under Relationships, Dating. That's not bad out of over 11 thousand books on dating that they sell and 129 thousand books on relationships.

You can even buy it at Walmart!! Walmart.com: What Do We Do Now?: Keith and the Girl's Smart Answers to Your Stupid Relationship Questions, Khalili, Chemda: Health, Mind & Body
