Happy Holidays and here is to looking forward to the New Year. It has been a great journey over the last twelve months. We have had (two) Nobel Award and (multiple) Pulitzer Prize winners, Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and Ambassadors, (Paul Krugman, Muhammad Yunus, Peter W. Galbraith, Madeleine Kunin, Robert Wexler, Harry Reid, Lincoln Chaffee), intellectuals, scholars, news makers, and some are now part of President-Elect Obama's staff and advisers.

This Sunday’s Book Salon is about you. This is your opportunity to let FDL know what books you enjoyed and would like to see in the coming year. Why did you like them, were there any surprises, did you learn something new?

It's the last FDL Book Salon of the year and it's been quite an exciting year. Now we'd like to hear from you. What was the best Book Salon? What subjects are most interesting? What would you like to see more of? Ideas?
