The Way of the World
My wife and daughters (and one of my daughters' friends) just returned from going to the movies, and then going "school shopping." My wife brought me Ron Suskind's new book, "The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism."

Have any of you read it yet? I'm curious what others think of the book.

I have his 2004 book, "The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O'Neill." My copy has the additional afterword and documents. I thought it was a valuable book.

Before I can start reading it, we'll play our daily game of Scrabble. But I will be impatiently anticipating sitting down and reading the book.

2. I'm glad you reminded me.
I just checked Audible.com, and saw that it's listed there. His "One Percent Doctrine" is also listed. I may end up ordering and downloading both.

3. I'm third on the library's list.
Please post back when you've started it & let us know what you think. Also, consider posting your thoughts on it in the non-fiction forum.

4. No, but I look forward to your thoughts on it
I'm working my way through Scott McClellan's book. Books are like like sleeping pills for me. Four or five pages and I'm out like light.
