Question of the Day: summer reading?

The Bush White House years may turn into the book wars, which one will you buy?

Former President George W. Bush is writing a book on the decisions he made while in office, working title “Decision Points,” scheduled for release next year.

Former first lady Laura Bush is writing a memoir about her life experiences, expected to be published next year.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney may provide some juicy tidbits in his memoir if it ends up criticizing (would that be book-stabbbing?) the president, it won’t be out until early 2011.

BRITAIN/

Here’s our guess on how the pages will turn.

George W. Bush’s book will be a straight-forward accounting of what went through his mind as the “Decider” in chief. Laura Bush’s book will not be as soft and fluffy as a stereotypical first lady memoir. And Cheney’s will offer the most surprises, only because he has been the determined silent type.

What’s your pick?

Why would anyone care about these books? It’s just their views, and none of it matters any more.

After eight years of their madness could really care less about their take on matters.

Who would want to pay money to re-live that 8-year-long national nightmare?

What a refreshing change to have such a class act as Laura and George Bush after the circus of the Clinton years and the nightmare of the Obama first few months.
