Got this book for Christmas from my parents. It gave me perverse pleasure for my die-hard right-wing parents give me this, one of Barack Obama's favorite books. (Although I've been interested in the book since long before I knew Obama had read it; I heard the author on a local PBS show and thought it sounded fascinating.) We'll see how long I can resist reading it while I finish other things.
