You've probably already gone to the store, but I've read some mixed reviews of Taibbi's book, so I'm just planning to check it out from the library. FWIW, The Shock Doctrine (Klien) and The Lazarus Project (Hemon) I would absolutely recommend shelling out the cash for.

I've heard mixed reviews of the Taibbi book, too -- that it's not terribly funny but rather kind of sad.
I'll have a look at the Lazarus Project tonight, too. Thanks! :) Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
