I have always been fascinated by the Watergate scandal, and this book reminds me of the days of excellent reporting and research in the search for truth. Every time I read it, I learn something new.

TheSpineView I read this in high school. 3w
dabbe @TheSpineView #metoo! And saw the movie. I've read it multiple times since (and seen the movie ... #hubbahubba RR!) 3w

dabbe @peaKnit Where was this class when I was in college? I would have loved to have taken it! 🤩 3w
BookmarkTavern I‘ve seen the movie, but I‘ve never read the book. I definitely should do that. Thanks for answering! 3w
Bookwormjillk @dabbe my neighbor took us on a boat ride today and we went past the Watergate. The urge to re-read this is strong right now! 3w
dabbe @BookmarkTavern It's so good! YW! 🤩😂🤗 3w
dabbe @Bookwormjillk Okay, how cool is that? Perfect timing for a reread, too! 🤩😂🤗 3w
peaKnit It was at UW-Whitewater (Wisconsin) I had a criminal justice minor. I wish true crime podcasts were invented in the early 90‘s, I was true crime before it was cool 🤣 3w
dabbe @peaKnit My fascination with true crime goes back to Ted Bundy. Who killed multiple women, including two of them at Chi Omega Sorority at FSU. I was a Chi Omega at U of A in the mid 1980s. We all had to sleep on a sleeping porch together BECAUSE of TB. We weren't allowed to sleep alone. Ever. 😱 3w
DogMomIrene @peaKnit Want to audit that class! 3w
peaKnit Omg, Ted Bundy sparked my interest in crime. I feel like I know everything there is to know about him and get so excited when I learn a new nugget. How scary though being in college, and the same sorority that was victimized, at that time, he was absolutely unhinged when he went to Florida. The most complete psychopath I have ever learned about. Have you read Bright Young Women? (edited) 3w
dabbe @peaKnit Nope. It's now on the TBR! 🤩 3w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really interesting look at the politics and sociology of the Nixon era. In previous biographies and Watergate books I‘ve read there‘s some sympathy for him as an awkward outsider. Not here. Perlstein goes all in on the vicious tactics he used to get and keep political power (like prolonging the Vietnam war to help his election 🙃). Looking forward to more Perlstein, but this was a #chunkster at 881 pgs, so maybe after a break…

Nixon did a lot of shady things, but this impeachment focused on agency abuse and obstruction of justice. #nixon #richardnixon #impeachment #timothynaftali politics #ushistory #uspresidency #history #politicalscience

Full disclosure: I don‘t actually remember much from this specific book vs. the other Watergate era books I‘ve read, but according to Goodreads, this was the book I liked most from February! #12Booksof2023 @Andrew65

Andrew65 It‘s amazing how much doesn‘t stay on our heads when we read a lot of books. 11mo
