The Pact. This book shows that it is possible to publicly be partisan and combative while still being pragmatic and effective behind closed doors. It tells the story about how bitter enemies with extreme personal animus, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, put aside the ill feelings to accomplish legislation for the betterment of the country. A lesson all current or prospective pols should learn.

Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand's over the top and wordy story of a liberal welfare state gone amok. Hard to take seriously but the parallels to so much of our own world are about as subtle as a brick upside the head. Nevertheless it is thought provoking and has lessons for us all about taking either extreme to its ultimate expression.
