Chavez nod turns Chomsky book into bestseller

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made headlines for his United Nations speech on Wednesday calling U.S. President George W. Bush "the devil himself," but a reading suggestion he made in the same speech created a bestseller. At the United Nations, anti-imperialist Chavez began his speech by displaying a copy of U.S. writer Noam Chomsky's book "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance" and recommended that Americans read it. By Thursday, the book had risen from backlist obscurity to be the No. 3 bestseller on Amazon.com - Reuters
