Not an 'alternative fact': George Orwell's '1984' tops Amazon's bestseller list

The regime in George Orwell's "1984" declared "War is Peace -- Freedom is Slavery -- Ignorance is Strength." The dystopian fiction drew flocks of book buyers after Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway's comment about "alternative facts." The publisher of George Orwell's novel "1984" has ordered a 75,000 copy reprint of the book after sales spiked earlier this week, CNN reports. "That is a substantial reprint," a spokesman for Penguin told CNN, "and larger than our typical reprint for '1984.'" The novel, which was the No. 1 bestselling book on Amazon as of Wednesday morning, was referenced by many in the press after comments made by Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway.
