Has /lit/ read Bob Woodward?

What are your thoughts on his books, his "narrative nonfiction" writing style, and what are some similar works by other authors.

I loved the Brethren, great inside look at the Supreme Court in the 70s. I am also a huge law nerd tho, so your mileage may vary

narrative nonfiction is a massively varied area, what are your interests? because you have everything from roman history to modern sports to global politics and everything inbetween

I'm reading "The Choice" right now. I'm probably going to read "The Agenda" next, then tackle "The Brethren."

Probably election oriented, or just generally political. Honestly, I wish there was a "narrative nonfiction" book for every American presidential election of modern times. Unfortunately, I can't find many other than "The Choice" about 1996, and the John Heilemann and Mark Halperin "Game Change" books just seem too gossipy and flashy.

Although non-US political narrative nonfiction would probably also be interesting to read.

Also, the "Bush at War" tetralogy was a fairly good collection.
