Required Reading?

I have shelves of books about 9/11. Most of these were given to me because I was personally affected. On my shelves are books about loss and coping, including at least three by 9/11 widows who scored early book deals. I’ve got books by pundits, politicians, military men and conspiracy theorists, consummate insiders and perennial outsiders. Of course, I’ve got a copy of the 9/11 Commission Report. Now there’s a new book by George Tenent – “In the Center of the Storm” – and I must decide if: (a) I’m still interested in this subject, (b) I want to spend money on a book about this subject, (c) it’s worth getting upset once again over what I might read. Me being me, I probably will look at it. And me being me, I’ll probably peruse it at Barnes and Noble over a cup of Starbuck’s rather than commit my cash to buying it.
