How to Break a Terrorist: The U.S. Interrogators Who Used Brains, Not Brutality, to Take Down the Deadliest Man in Iraq
Amazon Price: $18.72 (as of 12/09/2009) 
Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That's Bringing Common Sense Back to America
Jon's interview with Huckabee was one of the best he has ever done. I like Mike Huckabee, but he is deceptively conservative in his values. Jon tried to engage him on the gay marriage issue in a respectful yet hard hitting way. I was so impressed with Jon and how he really tried to get Huckabee to really face up to the intolerance that he preaches. Definitely worth watching.

"I don't trust books. They're all fact, no heart." says Stephen Colbert. Now, while this may be true, Stephen has a lot of authors on his show who have written books that I want to read. So here's a list from the current season. You can also find bo...

Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid
I generally like Denis Leary - even if he is a bit harsh. But I find that comedians aren't always the best writers. I wish they would have talked a bit more about the book in his interview.
Amazon Price: $17.79 (as of 12/09/2009)
American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House
This book sounds so INTERESTING! Meacham seems like a bit of a smart ass, but I'm really excited to read this. I think it's great that there is this resurgence of interest in some of the early US presidents. It may help get the government "back to basics" before everyone started abusing their power.

Links about The Daily Show
Other places on the net where you can get some related info
- The Daily Show Community Site
- The Daily Show has a community site. It has better access to video - current and archival - of the show, including better video players for embedding (though I believe all vids now have ads). But, they no longer have a book list. So all the more reason for this lens!
- TV Squad's Daily Show section
- TV Squad (member of Weblogs Inc. Network) usually has at least one summary per episode of The Daily Show, often more. These summaries include commentary on the interview with the author as well as links to the author's website or blog.
- Wikipedia Entry on The Daily Show
- For people who have way too much time on their hands ...
