5. Just to add my own..

I've read or am soon reading:

"Fraud" by Paul Waldman (good intro to the deception behind the fraud named Bush, but if you spend time on DU, nothing in the book is new so its a bit of a waste of time--OR you could give it to someone not as up-to-date as you are)

"Tell Me Lies: Propaganda and Media Distortion in the Attack on Iraq" (it'd be nice to have a book of this type NOT coming from the far-leftist perspective, but this'll do)

"Fighting Back" by James Carville

"The Price of Loyalty" by Suskind/O'Neill

7. Bushwhacked, Molly Ivins

Dude, Where's My Country, Michael Moore
Dry, Augusten Burroughs
