My Search for Warren Harding by Robert Plunket
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a very funny, very politically incorrect book. Eliott goes to Los Angelos to interview Warren Harding's former mistress who gave birth to his illegitimate daughter. Upon arriving he finds out the poolhouse is available to rent so he moves in. His schemes to get close to the woman lead to some funny interactions with some of L.A.'s odder residents.

I was going to release the book but I found out it is out of print so I will keep it and loan it out.
