The Reading Post

Well, here we are less than four weeks from election day.

I doubt that there is much out there that could influence the political process at this point, but there are a couple of really good new books recently written.

The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008 is the fourth and final volume of Bob Woodward's historical series detailing the Bush Administration. Woodward is described as "clearly non-idealogical" by the New York Times Book Review, and this book completes his analysis of the Bush Presidency.

Thomas L. Friedman also has a new book entitled Hot, Flat, and Crowded. Friedman is calling for a "green revolution" as a means of energizing and renewing America.

Both speak to issues of the last eight years and look to the future to solve the ills of the world.
