My Reading List

All The President's Men by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein

Title	Author	Year	Started	Finished	Genre	Opinion
The Secret Man	Bob Woodward	2005	03/03/2011	03/03/2011	Non-Fiction	Extremely light reading; a disappointing re-hash of All The President's Men with the main difference being Deep Throat is replaced by Felt; there is also an interesting explanation of how Woodward and Felt were first introduced, and a discussion about Felt 30 years later (losing his memory) and Woodward's dilemma in deciding whether to reveal Felt as Deep Throat; the whole book is written in really choppy English, very short sentences, very bad English; a somewhat boring but fast read
All The President's Men	Carl Bernstein, Bob Woodward	1974	March 2011	March 2011	Non-Fiction	Very interesting book; there are a lot of names thrown out, and it's difficult to follow much of the time; many of the details included are of marginal importance; it's somewhat difficult to get a "big picture" by reading this; but it gives a very accurate play-by-play of how the Watergate reporting in the Washington Post unfolded over the course of 1972 and 1973. Ends in 1973, before Nixon's resignation. (Second book by Bernstein and Woodward is The Last Days and does the same thing except it follows the resignation of Nixon).
