This is an OPEN THREAD but I thought it’d be fun to talk books too. For my birthday, BooMan sent me “What It Takes” by Richard Ben Cramer. It is an exhaustive exploration of what kind of people it takes to make a true candidate for president. The level of detail about the lives of Bob Dole, Gary Hart, George Bush, and many others is remarkable, and exceedingly entertaining.
I’m only on page 169. But, because the print is very small, I figure I’ve read at least 300 pages! it’s a little over 1,000 pages long, which by my math makes it nearly 2,000 pages. Not only am I learning, my biceps are getting quite buff! Just like a Harry Potter reader’s biceps!
How about you? What are you reading? Magazine article, book, funny papers?
