Summary:
I would like suggestions to add to this list: Benjamin Disraeli, Coningsby or the New Generation. Anthony Trollope, The Way We Live Now. Allen Drury, Advise and Consent: A Novel of Washington Politics. John Ehrlichman, The Company. Anonymous (Joel Klein) Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics. This is not for Christmas, but some of my personal reading. I am aware that Coningsby is the first of a trilogy, that Advise and Consent is the first of a series, and that Primary Colors has a sequel. Ehrlichman's novel did not make a lasting impression on me. As usual, I find it hard to define what I think groups these together. Disraeli writing his novels in the midst of trying to climb the greasy pole is hard to fathom: "The Duke talks to me of Conservative principles; but he does not

Disraeli writing his novels in the midst of trying to climb the greasy pole is hard to fathom:
"The Duke talks to me of Conservative principles; but he does not inform me what they are. I observe indeed a party in the State whose rule it is to consent to no change, until it is clamorously called for, and then instantly to yield; but those are Concessionary, not Conservative principles. This party treats institutions as we do our pheasants, they preserve only to destroy them. But is there a statesman among these Conservatives who offers us a dogma for a guide, or defines any great political truth which we should aspire to establish? It seems to me a barren thing, this Conservatism, an unhappy cross-breed; the mule of politics that engenders nothing." -- Disraeli
