Jack Lew....not so much.
I really hope Hagel, Brennan, and Lew all get blocked.

There is a two book series, Empire and Hidden Empire, by Orson Scott Card.
It's basically a scenario where the political left and right are maneveur into a shoot war and how and why and what is behind it all.
Card wrote a lot of science fiction and fanasty, but his novels that are really neither are kind of unsettling while good reading.
These books seem like they could happen based on today's attitudes.
Some interesting twists if you read the entire two books, but can't say a lot more without getting into possibly too much. Synopses on sites like Amazon.
I've never been much of a reader of novels

The last one I read cover to cover was Catch-22. It probably took me months as my attention span for such things is just too short. When people ask me such questions, I tell them that books are either for looking stuff up, leveling a table (since they come in many thicknesses) or helping short kids reach their dinner plate. 
I need to go back to them

even pure my nonsensical scifi and fanasty that I love, and use to read hours at the time, has to be better for my brain than most internet use and tv programs.
I'd mention I sleep better if I lay down and read for 30 minutes or more before sleep except that in my past if I was "into" a novel, particularly the scifi, I read until I couldn't possibly stay away any longer.
It does work if I read only a little though. But occasionally reading can be as addictive for me as other activities.
My wife reads enough for both of us

She'll can have 2 or 3 in progress at a time. That would make my head explode. Reading fiction is just something I cannot do. After a paragraph or two my brain wanders away from my eyes out of boredom. I've always been this way and would probably have been diagnosed with ADD if tested back then. About the only thing that saves me is that I retain almost everything that I read and hear. At times I wish I could have been a better reader if just to be a better conversationalist at social gatherings but it's nothing you get better at just by practicing.
I'd love to have your memory then.

sometimes I can watch a tv show, movie, or read a book I know I've done before and it's almost brand new.
Sometimes I can recognize stuff as it happens, but can' remember a thing that is about to happen.
Not that my comprehension is that bad fortunately, but I'm always amazed at people with near total memory recall.

Perhaps you remember most of what you read

because you read so little? I'm reading constantly and I generally have two to four going at once. I had one on my bed and one at work and listening to one on the car radio. Now I have Kindle on my phone, I go there as well when I'm waiting for something.
Actually I've slowed down some. I used to read at least one book a day and still work full time and get the work done around the house and yard.
Getting old.

It's not your aging, it's books are so much longer is why you can't read one every day anymore

I have always taken my glasses off to read and even work on the computer. I don't have any problems reading and eyes are actually getting better the older and more far-sighted I get. I do have problems with very small print.
