WTF. 100 pages in and I'm still reading about the history of the senate - I get it the Senate can be slow and ponderous and had too much influence over US government policy. Damn, Robert Caro can be frustrating. I'm spending more time re-reading Barbarians than this book.
Just wrapped up The Means of Ascent. Can't wait for more LBJ shenanigans in Master of the Senate. Will order next week.
Considered re-reasing Barbarians at the Gate but gave up as I generally loathe to re-read books (except A Distant Mirror and Liars Poker).
Started last night.
