I'd take this to the Book Club Thread, but I can't seem to locate it anymore. Do we want one of those again or not? Also considered posting on Politics instead, but that would require me to sift through the Who Knows More About Other Countries discussion that's going on there.

I started a very special Politics thread just for you last night, but since then someone has deleted it, alas.
