My new book "Confessions of a Wayward Catholic" is now #1 at Amazon.com in the religion category. I've been number one in various gambling categories but this is a breakthrough for me --- having a non-casino book hit the top level! I know, I know, I am just so happy that I am breaking out of the gambling mode.

I'm sure you wouldnt throw us any curveballs. Of course you know such a claim can be checked.
But there must be a qualifier for your statement that you have forgotten to include, maybe "for today" or something like that? I can't find your book in the below list, for example.

Not religion,
"#1 in Books > Humor & Entertainment > Humor > Religion"
Still, a pretty nice accomplishment.

I know these lists can change rapidly but the book has been getting excellent reviews and I think that has helped. Yes, I am excited. I retired from teaching dice control to travel and write non-gambling articles and books. I still have two gambling books coming out --- maybe the two best I ever wrote --- but seeing my "Confessions of a Wayward Catholic" as #1 has really made me so happy. (The book is a humor book, not a heavy tome.)
I know, it can all crash tomorrow but for tonight...well, it's my night! (I do appreciate the many posters on this site who have been so supportive even if you don't always agree with me.)

Well congratulations !
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

I guess it had to happen that a book about pooh would be "number two."
Oh, and congratulations Frank!

Well, I had my one day as #1 and today I started to sink. But it felt good.

Will you be able to cancel the 53 books you ordered yesterday ?
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet
