Re: I bought Bob's book, and it's fascinating- it's at Costco, so you don't even have to spend much for it.

Well... I didn't put Woodward's book on my shopping list. I'm afraid we're still too close to 911 to be offered insightful, investigative books on current events... I think the best books on our momentous times (ie the early 2000s) have yet to be written --most likely in 5 or 6 years from now... and by non-US people (Australian D. Yallop? a British journalist?). Here's another book I've contemplated to read:
