Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like its from Neptune.

The Nine, Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, by Jeffrey Toobin.
Very well written. I'm enjoying it more that I thought I would. I'm about 100 pages into it (of 340).
Excellent. Keeps from being dry by bringing in the justices' personalities, but does a great job of illustrating the key decisions and constitutional questions of the last decade or so. The part on the 2000 election is riveting.

Just started Mencken Chrestomathy by H.L.M. It's been glaring at me from the bookshelf for too long.
Also reading Marley & Me for lite fare now that my wife finished it.
