lostfan Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) I'm like 2K5, I'm not into reading politicians' memoirs, even the ones I like. However there's a couple of exceptions - Al Franken's books (Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them and The Truth With Jokes) because he's hilarious and he wrote those before he became a senator, and Robert Wexler's Fire Breathing Liberal because it's actually pretty educational, and it's more "what it's like being a Democratic Congressman" than it is a polemic.

You should read Grant's memoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to read Presidential memoirs or what have you when they come out, but I've never read such a simple book. Seriously, these are the least complex sentences of all-time. If he even had a hand in writing this, it makes me truly sad. It's like a junior high school kid wrote it and used a thesaurus to replace some words. Also, I could punch him for the Stem Cell chapter and his reasoning behind decisions based on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
