So much for the book diet . . .

I had planned not to buy any new books until I finish the ones I have yet to read. So much for that, as the following have been added to my collection in the last week:

1. Frank Rich's "The Greatest Story Ever Sold";
2. Barack Obama's "The Audacity of Hope";
3. Bob Woodward's "Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate";
4. "In Defense of American Liberties" by Samuel Walker, a history of the ACLU;
5. Bob Greene's "And You Know You Should Be Glad"; and
6. "What's a Nice Republican Girl Like Me Doing In the ACLU?" by Sheila Suess Kenney.
   

I'm thinking about leaving a copy of book #6 for my managing partner to read. It's a tossup as to whether it will make him mad or win him over.
