Books read 2005: Plan of attack by Bob Woodward & The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton by Joe Klein
7.Plan of Attack by Bob Woodward (2004)
What should have been a fascinating read is badly written and the narrative is dull. Should have been gripping, it was pedestrian. Lots of insights into the build up to the Iraq war though, from the horse’s mouths.
8.The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton by Joe Klein
Excellent little biography on Bill Clinton and his two eventful terms in office. Very well written and engaging. One to be read again, and better than Clinton's autobiography.

Have you read "No One Left to Lie to" by Hitchens? It's the book that made me realise that I shouldn't just support someone because they said they were on my side - i.e. "The Left".
No, haven't read that one. I think Hitchens is too harsh in his judgments of Clinton. Read this one, it's balanced. I'm not into polemical books much these days, need some objectivity.
