Guest Shortlist Featuring Bob Woodward

Featured Guest: Bob Woodward

	The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris There is no better pre-presidential biography.
	Middlemarch by George Eliot Written from 1871-72, the central character, Dorothea Brooke, brilliantly foreshadows nearly all that would happen to women--and men--in the next century, the 20th.
	The Shooting Party This is a haunting tale of a country-house weekend party in aristocratic Edwardian England on the eve of World War I. Mason always suggests more than he says. The film is based on the wonderful novel of the same name by British writer Isabel Colegate.
	Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner This ultimate story of the joys and limitations of marriage and friendship merits reading and re-reading.
	Beethoven, 9 Symphonies Conducted by John Eliot Gardiner Carl Bernstein, my friend and former Washington Post, colleague and co-author, gave me a set of these marvelous CDs as a present. ...and if there were a sixth spot on the list, I would pick 24, starring Keifer Sutherland, which my wife Elsa and I watch often. It is one of the better shows now on television.
