Here is the one political book that I own, and it is only because it is related to China. #politicalbook #Icantrememberallthesehashtags @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

Mayread Have you heard the Nixon in China opera? It's fantastic & an appropriate pairing. 8y
Laura317 @Skiles I have not! But where I live there's not many big plays. 8y
Mayread @Laura317 I haven't seen it in person. It's a modern opera by the composer John Adams. I discovered him while browsing music at the library (naturally). It's a bit trippy as it's modern opera & now has to be seen through the lens of the 80's, when it was written. 8y

The first #politicalbook, that comes to mind is this doozy by Ms. Rand. I know this is a very polarizing book, but personally I found it interesting (albeit, too wordy), relevant and engaging in that the reader is asked to consider what type of person they are.

StacksNShelves Loved this quote. Lots of memories having read her work my senior year of high school. 8y
BookFreakOut It took me a solid year to get through, but I found it very interesting as well. Our family copy has a post-it at the beginning and end of the 80-some page speech in case you want to skip it, lol. 8y
Yournewfriendsams @BookFreakOut know the speech you're talking about and I definitely skimmed that part. 8y
Laalaleighh I read this in the summer of '09, speech and all. Book was fantastic. Speech almost killed me. 8y
