Political book input? Looking for a new book.

[FortFunFoSho]

Have a trip coming up and was looking to get some new books for it. Has anyone got any good suggestions. I am talking somewhat political books. Was also thinking about reading a JFk Biography.

What do you think?

The Jon Stewart book is good light reading, it's funny and insightful, especially with his criticism of the press, but it's not a very long read. I like longer books on trips, but I also read pretty fast.

Have any suggestiuons of any books at all to read?

I just saw Bush's Brain, I think the book would be pretty good, also just finished "King of Torts" by John Grisham, if you like that sort of story, it's a pretty good look into the world of mass tort lawyers.

Imperial Hubris was good, though it's not light.

I generally don't like political books, but if you go to any bookstore, there is usually a shelf out front with all of the party line crap on it. I don't like those books from either side of the spectrum, but they might be an interesting read to you. Ann Coulter's book, which I have read some of, would be a good look at what a disturbing amount of people seem to think, judging by the book's success.

Rainsford -

What do you read then? I am curious about any book in general really. Any suggestions at all aside from Coulter?

Bump for additional input...

Johm Raulston Saul's Voltaire's Bastards.

Maybe look for the book titled "Voices From the Front", a compilation of letters from soldiers in Iraq!

I enjoyed Al Frankin's "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them".

I have read that book twice and am thinking of starting again. Great read. If you finish that you can always read "Rush is a big fat idiot...". Another good read.

Treason or Slander by Ann Coulter are quite hilarious.
