I've seen some reviews that suggest that it is a drab read. But, it'll be interesting to see how an intellectual like her managed to work with Rumsfeld and Cheney.

zen Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 In the last 5-6 years, I don't recall being able to finish a book, except photography related and graphic novels, i.e. Maus and Logicomix (which I might read again) Looking at the title, I don't think I will be able to go past the first 20-30 pages ....
Sachin=GOD Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 One lady whose book I am going to read soon is Aung San Suu Kyi. She had written "Aung San Suu Kyi - Letters From Burma" which is a collection of essays written by her.
Ram Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 CA, if you're looking for politics related reading recommendations, try 'Confidence Men', by Ron Suskind. Its a vivid, erstwhile unknown insights into the inner workings of the Obama white house and his presidency, as told by some of his closest confidants. Its got raving reviews.
Brainfade Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 @Ram: Thanks! I skimmed some of the reviews and they all referred Obama's pompous ***** economic advisor - Larry Summers. Remember the PBS documentary I had requested you watch a long time ago? Same villain.

ganeshran Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 For Indian politics, books by PC Alexander are a fascinating read. Liked "Through the corridors of power"
yoda Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 No higher honor than to invade a country on faulty intelligence, spend more than a trillion dollars of tax payer money, and then go about defending it. :finger:
