Politics and Satan

Two quotes that caught my attention this week regarding books/authors:

1.) "Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you fail, you can always write a book."

Ronald Reagan, quoted in the New York Times (published November 25, 2006 in The Week magazine)

2.) "It's a bit of a bone of contention."

Zafar Rushdie (age 26), quoted in The Independent (published November 18, 2006 in The Week magazine), regarding his lack of literary aspirations, was "crap" in English literature at university, and has not read any of his father's books (Salman Rushdie, author of "Satantic Verses" among others).


Reader survey -- which is the better of these two books, "It Takes a Village" (Hillary Clinton) or "The Audacity of Hope" (Barack Obama) ??
