Finished What's Next Audiobook. Printed book is very nice, but the audiobook is extraordinary. (Read about 1/2 and listened to about 1/2.)
Not sure it's very enjoyable for non-fans, but the sections on service might be. It's interesting to hear about all the different people, from different walks of life, who were influenced by The West Wing.

Melissa and Mary read the story in a way that almost feels like a podcast. I borrowed the book through Libby, but will probably buy the audio version at some point because I'm sure I missed details.
I like that they acknowledge the imperfection of the show production - the Rob Lowe piece was fairly objective - but also, that many of the cast members remain friends and participate in each others' activism.
