Friday Favorites: January 25

January

Congressman John Hall, D-Dover Plains, of the 19th District spends lots of time no doubt reviewing official documents and papers related to the issues under governmental discussion. But his staff tells me that he also finds time to read for pleasure when he can and they shared some recommendations. This week he stopped at the Mahopac Public Library to meet with constituents, so maybe he browsed the stacked or even checked out a few books.

Of late he has been reading nonfiction, “Charlie Wilson’s War” by George Crile, which recounts an important chapter of American foreign policy and “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic” by Chalmers Johnson, the CIA analyst.
