My Search for Warren Harding by Robert Plunket. Currently looking for a presenter.

Set against the fading light of early-1980s Hollywood, our deeply flawed, bigoted, closeted antihero Elliot Weiner is a historian―Harvard BA, Columbia PhD―with a passion for Morris dancing and Warren Harding, “the shallowest President in history.” After Weiner receives a research grant to write a book on the tumultuous life of Harding, he gets wind of a trunkful of the 29th president’s bawdy billets-doux that is rumored to be fiercely guarded by his ancient mistress Rebekah Kinney on her declining Hollywood Hills estate. Nothing and no one can stand in the way of Weiner getting his paws on the treasure, and along the way, as the words dance across the page, a hysterical, guffaw-inducing punchline around every corner, Weiner reaches new lows of humiliation and self-delusion. 

The Carnegie Readers meet to discuss a different book each month from September to May. Friends of the Library purchases multiple copies of the nine titles chosen for discussion so that Readers will have books available prior to their monthly meetings. The purchases are added to the library collection following their discussion date.
