The Federalist Papers - turned into quite a project. Anyone interested in them should check the FR Book Club threads out.

Memoirs by U.S. Grant - not what I expected at all.

Rereading The Road to Serfdom by F. Hayek.

Just finished House to House, a memoir of Fallujah by David Bellavia. Absolutely harrowing.

Can you elaborate? I have only sampled them, largely because of the reputation (”the greatest war memoir since Caesar”).

I recall a sort of simple elegant prose, plenty of detail, but not a lot of ornamentation. But, again, I only sampled briefly...interested in your line there about not being what you expected.
