[Whoa!] Dick Morris
Dick Morris - father of "Triangulation" is a damn political genious!
Still 1/3 into his book "Behind The Oval Office" and it's damn addictive. Sure there's a lot of self indulgence in it but behind that there are so many intriguing things about the inner workings of politics in and out of the White House!
A lot of the things I used to just read in Newsweek editorials back in my late teens and early 20s suddenly have a new dimension to it.
Also, completed the reading of "Spin Cycle" - a pretty good narrative of Mike McCurry, and the White House, and how even the media are all engaged in spinning the news with their various special interests in mind.
Bought 2 books from Borders SG when I was there (Borders Msia sucks for some reason - no variety, no depth - just lots of space). Probably when I am back in Msia next week will look for more stuff in ... Kinokuniya.
And gotta try to watch entire Season 4 of The West Wing before I balik to BKK (too soon too soon)... so anyone who is interested in the upcoming marathon can join in.

Hey, there's gonna be a new Borders opening at the Curve by end of this year.... and I'm hoping it is better than the one at Times Square (that one really is soul-less, like the rest of Times Square really).
Counting down, 2 weeks to the end of my stint at T*****.
