The Sinclair Lewis novel "It Can't Happen Here," about a gradual fascist takeover of the United States, has joined George Orwell's "1984" on Amazon's list of its best-selling books. "It Can't Happen Here" broke into the top 100 on Amazon's updated-every-hour list of sales several days ago. Amazon says "It Can't Happen Here" is now temporarily out of stock. And there's a great book, Sinclair Lewis' 'It Can't Happen Here,' published in the '30s, and we've never quite had a presidential candidate reach this level of prominence who embodies kind of what Sinclair Lewis was talking about in that book." Penguin had no immediate comment on the spike for "It Can't Happen Here" on Saturday.
