Also, "best selling memoir?" How in the heck do books get labeled "best selling" anyway? Is EVERY Book a "best seller?"

I so would've loved to have seen the hilarious outcome of this. Like her bizarre suburban fans would even think of sitting on a (shudder) Red Line train when there are perfectly good BaMs in Winchester, Arundle or Leesburg.
