Anybody here subscribe to Capitol Reader book summary service?

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

I found this site while searching for info on an author. They provide ten-page summaries for a variety of top-selling political books. For ten bucks a month you get one book summary per week plus ten more with sign-up. Do any DUers use this service? Any opinions? I can't afford all the books I'd like to read so this interests me.

From their site (www.capitolreader.com):

With a subscription to Capitol Reader, you'll receive the top political books summarized down to 10 concise pages.  These book summaries allow you to read the key points and arguments being made by political leaders, satirists, pundits and journalists without spending the time and money it takes to read their entire books.

Not only will you drastically slash your reading time with our summaries, but this service is especially helpful if you like to keep up with what the other side is saying, but you don't want to buy their books.  Capitol Reader is a nonpartisan service and each week, summaries are alternated by party affiliation.  The summaries do not offer judgment or opinion on the content in each book.  Instead, the ideas, viewpoints and arguments are presented just as the author has intended.

They also provide a sample summary - "Hardball" by Chris Matthews.

1. I do

While their reviews seem OK, they don't seem to review the books I'm interested in reading. I'll give them more time though since I've only been with them awhile.

2. Thanks! Anybody else?

Yeah, I can live w/o reading Ann Coulter; but they have a number of books I'd like to read, including Thomas Frank and George Lakoff coming up in the next month's offerings.

3. I just saw those, and am looking forward to them also

Although I just ordered Lakoff's book.

4. I'm thinking of that too

I would really like to get all of Franks' and Lakoff's books, especially Lakoff's "Moral Politics" (as well as his latest).
