The Payoff: Why Wall Street Always Wins by Jeff Connaughton
5.0
When I started this book I had little faith in my ability to finish it. The subject is complex and not exactly edge of your seat, but somehow Connaughton manages to give a compelling account of the inter connectedness of Wall Street and Washington.
The narrative is a bit weird and non-linear, jumping backwards or forwards from chapter to chapter. Ted Kauffman is the hero of the story and following his battles kept me going even as I struggled to make sense of some of the more technical parts.

The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial by Peter Goodchild
5.0
Relevant and humourous. The story deals with issues that have reared their head once again in the last decade. I was surprised the humour - the sharp, witty barbs passed back and fourth - but thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I would enjoy seeing this play.
