Library Update July 2025

My library account has finally dwindled a bit.

Checked Out

The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy by Jeffrey Toobin - This is clearly a work book. It's about the history of the Presidential pardon. It was put into the Constitution, but it wasn't actually used until Abraham Lincoln used it to pardon the soldiers who fought for the South in the Civil War. Anyway, I'm currently up to the Nixon/Watergate situation.

On Hold

Who Is Government: The Untold Story of Public Service by Michael Lewis - Lewis is the Moneyball guy. Also the one about the football player that got turned into a movie with Sandra Bullock. Anyway, this is just coming out, and I am reviewing it to see if I want to add it to the research collection.

Yup. Still waiting.

Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy by Mary Roach - I love Mary Roach. This one is due to come out soon, so I've got on the hold list early. As a person who has a titanium knee, I am interested in this subject.

And that's all she wrote!
