Introducing Political Books

When readers email me, they ask for book recommendations more than almost anything else. So I built a better answer.

Political Books collects every book that has been mentioned on Political Wire, nearly 800 so far, in one place. It’s searchable and sortable, and it updates itself whenever a new book appears in a post.

Search everything. Type a title, subtitle or author and results appear instantly as you type.

Sort it your way:

• Recently mentioned: the books in the news right now.
• Newest: the latest releases.
• Coming soon: upcoming books with their release dates, so you can pre-order.
• Most mentioned: the books we’ve returned to again and again.

Every book has its own page. It shows the cover, the available formats (hardcover, paperback, Kindle and audiobook) and every Political Wire post that discussed the book. You can see why it mattered, not just that it exists.

Members can also save books to their reading list. Just click “Save to reading list” next to any book on the Political Books page or in any post. When you’re ready for your next book, it’s waiting. You can view your saved reading list in the “My Political Wire” section in the right column of the site.
