I have a book club copy of Mark Leibovich’s This Town, which is now out in paperback, and probably available at local libraries without much of a wait. Anybody be interested in doing a Sunday-evening/afternoon hate-read together, to start up the new calendar year and keep us in shape until Rick Perlstein’s Reagen book is published?
Another possibility, if anyone else is interested, would be Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, which is also available in paperback — and, believe me, the questions of what we wear, how & where our clothing is made, and the costs involved go way beyond ladyblogging.
More ‘scholarly’ options, John B. Judis has a TNR article presenting “Ten Books Any Student of American History Must Read“, all of which look very promising (especially Fathers & Children) and none of which I’ll probably get the Round Tuit without external validation.
Your thoughts, commentors?
