32. "Capitol Punishment", by Jack Abramhoff

If you weren't cynical about how things get done in Washington, you will be. Betting millions on pre determined sporting events, because giving it directly violates finance laws.
I can't buy you a meal, but I can give you a restaurant...

It's ugly out there.

I'm not sure if I'm recommending this book or not. It's not for the easily depressed.
