Looking for a good book? Here are three to consider

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by GP6971 (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

There is a new book called "The DOGE Dystopia, Created by Elon Musk: The First 50 Days" and is a day-by-day account of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its transformative impact on the U.S. government. The book examines sweeping agency reductions, the push toward privatization, and the gradual dismantling of Federal institutions. Easy to read and you can make your own decision. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1KH45XG

Promised Hope: A Barack Obama Biography Book: A Story About Obama with Insights Into His Decision Making as President. This well-crafted book delivers a compelling look at Obama’s formative years, enriched with quotes that vividly showcase his perspectives on a wide range of topics. Thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter invite readers to reflect on and debate facets of his character and political journey. Where to find it.

How about something funny and hilarious. How about a blank book (the pages are blank). "The Proof of Donald Trump's Exceptional Genius: The Inside Story" is great if you are looking for an insightful read (spoiler: there’s nothing to read) or just someone in need of a good laugh, this book delivers in the most unexpected way. An ideal conversation starter, gift, or office desk accessory. Where to find it.

It really is one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time…

If anyone deserved a blank book it was Spiro!
