Challenge: name the single best book about the problems caused by the Bush administration
If someone flew here from the moon and wanted to know why we're all so mad at Bush, what is the one book you would tell them to read?

5. Seconded.
Dean's books are a great place to start. Easy to read, and get right to the point.

4. My Pet Goat
And the minutes that ticked by with the coward wetting his pants, as shown by Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 9/11.

I also think Richard Clarke's "Against All Enemies" remains a gold standard.

11. Yes a good book about the rise of Nazi Germany would be a good read.
I might just go to the library tonight.

14. I'd hand them a copy of "Nineteen Eighty-Four"
and say "The problem is, he took this and used it as a how-to manual."
