I decided to go with "The Clinton Wars" for my latest read.......
It's so voluminous and dense, the going has been a bit slow, but damn, this book is worth reading. Sidney Blumenthal is on his game. I recommend it highly so far. Along with my last two books, "Dreaming War" by Gore Vidal and "Who Killed Daniel Pearl?" by Bernard-Henri Levy, I would have to say I'm on quite a roll, in regards to great reading material.

1. That one's on my list
I'm just finishing Big Lies. I found a very intriguing reference in it to a book by David Stockman. "The Triumphs of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed." By a former Reaganite. It's out of print, so I had to get it from a used bookseller. It looks very intriguing.
