| Political Novel Suggestions? Because of the U.S. presidential election I'm in the mood to read political novels--can you suggest some good ones? I just finished a really great new one, The Clinton Diaries by Fred Petrovsky. I bought it on Amazon at the suggestion of a friend. I couldn't put it down and I highly recommend it. It was a bit racy for me and there is some profanity in it, but I still rank it as the best book I've read this year so far. It takes the form of Bill Clinton's diary that he wrote during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, so you can imagine! Can anyone suggest other political novels? I've already read All the King's Men and it was good. Someone else suggested I read Primary Colors. Any ideas? Thanks for helping!   |

| I remember a book called The Last Hurrah (author?) which was about politics in Boston.

There was another political novel of about that time, a best seller, and it related to skulduggery in the House of Representatives. Does anyone remember the title?

| How about The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon. It was the basis for the movie by the same name.
