So within the past month I have started a book club with friends, our first book is JK Rowlings' Casual Vacancy, and I've started my own personal "book club", that first book being Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project. Both of these were acts to get myself to read more frequently and efficiently. So far so good. Well the second book I've begun reading on my own is Joe Scarborough's Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day. I have a been a fan of Joe's since college when I started watching him on MSNBC's morning show, Morning Joe. Joe is a former Florida Republican Congressman, but to quote Senator John McCain Joe is truly an independent thinker, which is refreshing.
Joe also spends quite some time discussing the difference between Republicans and Democrats and comes to the conclusion that when it comes to spending tax payer dollars there isn't much of a difference today. Joe also does a great job breaking down how bills really passed and how much a congressman can sell his soul once he begins working on the Hill.
This book was written a few years ago, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in politics and knowing what really happens on Capitol Hill.
