I'll second any recommendation of Paul Johnson -- even the books of his I haven't read, knowing how good the ones I read were.

I'm in the middle of reading and impressed so far by Robert Kagan's Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order. It's really a long essay, more than a book.

P.J. O'Rourke has written a lot of good stuff, but Holiday's in Hell, even if from the 80s is maybe his best.

:-) I love PJ O'Rourke. He just wrote a great article for the Atlantic Monthly in last month's edition about stag hunting in the UK as there's a big effort to regulate it out of existence and there were no parts unsuitable for young eyes (LOL! He's on target, a brilliant author, deliriously funny and very scary).
