So this weekend I have been doing some reading, since we have been more or less trapped by the blizzard. I picked up All The President's Men by Carl Bernstein/Bob Woodward from the library.
I always had a general understanding of the Watergate scandal that ultimately led to Nixon's impeachment/resignation, but this book went into a level of detail and complexity that was hard to believe. Just the idea that two reporters who were barely on the charts at the time exposed the corruptness (word?) of the President and his staff is hard to believe.
On the whole, a great book so far (2/3 finished) and a read that I would recommend for anyone with an interest in the government or politics to read regardless of their views.
