Yeah, I'm on to Ch. 4 now, but have to take a break because once I start, I can't stop reading till the end... and have too much work to do!!! But it's FANTASTIC writing, absolutely enthralling stuff. It feels like actual political ethnography, which is a step above regular journalism (for me). Can't wait to finish the whole thing... trying to savor it as I can. My favorite bits are the quotes by Obama that really demonstrate just how down-to-earth he is (I love the quote about the "fucking light bulbs," hehe).
