We're top-full of political junkies in this forum; it stands to reason that at least some of us also read political commentary books. I adore such books for a multitude of reasons; they're insightful, intellectually stimulating, good sources of information and- best of all- usually quite funny. It's still a bit disappointing to come across a dud; poorly researched, nonsensical or stultifyingly boring (and these are usually the more expensive such books). Then there's always the question, once you've finished your most recent purchase, of what to read next.
I thought a book review thread was in order. Something fairly simple and straightforward; summary, political leaning if applicable, what you thought and how you would rate it. Like this:
Title, Author
Summary: Blah blah blah.
Orientation: Liberal, Liberal-leaning, Centrist, Conservative-leaning, Conservative, Apolitical.
Review: Etc etc, yadda yadda.
Rating: B+, (Insert political orientation here) would likely give this book a (rating here).
All right then. Ready, set, go!
