        Very underrated classic. IMO.

        I remember dreading reading it, but ending up really enjoying it.

          Ugh two topics I can't stand. I would have to imagine it is pretty interesting though.

            Rereading some classics like, "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey.

              You're probably the perfect audience for it then. Someone who is skeptical of both sides and has the "what is their angle" thing goin'... this book is right in your wheelhouse.

                  I'll check that out in the new year...I've got a bunch of books for the holidays, but thanks for the suggestion. I can enjoy politics and religion, but I'm not hardcore into either, so I'd appreciate something like this.

                    Finishing up Suetonius "Twelve Caesars" I reccomend it if you like Roman History, you learn some pretty interesting thing about the men that rule the empire. I got some books for christmas, Polybius' account of the Rise of Rome (Carthaginian Wars and such), Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Homer's Illiad and Oddyssey (very nice versions actually, quite expensive). Don't know which to read next. I got Thucydides' account of the Peloponessian War sitting on the shelf I have to get into at some point.

                    My god I'm a nerd.

                      It's good for that. It's really a "who's using who" thing. Really interesting.

                        Are you being serious or sarcastic?

                        I just read the editor's review from the link you posted and it sounds kind of interesting. If nothing else, I think it would be interesting to read how the presidency has evolved according to Graham's point of view.

                          Does anyone have anything similar to Greenberg's "Why My Wife Thinks I'm An Idiot"?

                          Those are the only books I really have patience to read, mainly because they end up in lots of laughs. I love reading about people's crazy stories and anecdotes. Something in the same style would be great.

                            I'm reading "The Hotel New Hampshire" by John Irving, for the second time. Great book, a lot of black humor.
                            Before that I read "Confessions of a homing pigeon" by Nicholas Meyer.

                              Animal Farm. Everyone knows this one. Saw the video in History two years ago. We just finished up A Long Way Gone. It was good.

                                Finished Animal Farm this past weekend.

                                Working on 1984 at the moment, and will follow that up by reading Fahrenheit 451.
