Where "created much buzz" translates as "was roundly mocked by all as a piece of ridiculous crap." And Jonah Goldberg, whose entire oeuvre is a cliché? And what did AEI Prexy Brooks do? Rewrote The Road to Serfdom, we figure. Smart nothing, these Brainiacs are off the scale!Conservatives, in case you haven’t noticed, are churning out some pretty serious and scholarly works. And they’re catching on with a fairly wide audience, too.
Interestingly, Hayward’s AEI colleagues are making major contributions to this cause. For example, AEI president Arthur Brooks is out with a new book called, “The Road to Freedom” — currently number 28 on the New York Times Best-Sellers list. AEI fellow (and syndicated columnist) Jonah Goldberg’s “The Tyranny of Cliches” is hot on his heels at number 30. And this winter and spring, Charles Murray, AEI’s W. H. Brady Scholar, created much buzz with his celebrated book, “Coming Apart.”
And, as might be expected, reactionary:
[T]he best conservative writing tends to be a response to dramatic cultural changes and liberal overreach.

the great thing is that the Bloggess' book, Let's pretend This Never Happened, is ahead of all of them. She curses, talks about sex and drinking and drugs, mental illness, hilariously inappropriate conversation, taxidermy, and poverty. Not to mention the episode where she buries her dead dog, then digs it back up.
Unsalaried Editor:
Aww, you rooned it when you revealed the dog was dead.
