The Nine; Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin
Even if you have just a passing interest in the US Supreme Court, this book is NOT to be missed! Toobin has given his readers an intimate view into the lives of the justices (from Earl Warren to Samuel Alito) by providing us with their detailed idiosyncrasies (from the mundane to the sublime) to explain the evolution (or devolution; see Bush v. Gore!) and existence of our rules and laws today.

yo, cwee! welcome to the club! feel free to put your name and the book you're on (i.e. "cwee 1/26...") in the title, so we know who it is!
very cool to see you on here!
and, so, would you recommend this book to a person not in your field? does it read well for someone less involved with the lingo, etc? is it a very long read? or gripping and fast?
lemme know, sounds like a good library pick.
It's an awesome and entertaining read for everybody. I found it to be a page turner.
ok, mebbe i'll add it to my library list... :-) thanks for the tip!
Wow, I'll put it on my list.. but sounds kinda surprising that a book on the supreme court would be so page-turning!
BTW can you edit and put your name and the number of the book in the title? e.g.:
cwee: 1/26: The Nine; ...
