Oh, yeah: I liked A Companion to Wolves. I don't know if you will. The main conflict between the protagonist and his father is that the wolf companions get caught up in the wolves' mating in pretty much the same way that McCaffrey's dragonriders get caught up in the dragons' mating, and wolf companions are universally male regardless of the sex of the wolf. And if you're reading it only to see what the fuss is with the race discussion, you're reading the wrong book--the fuss was over Blood and Iron.

And Obama is a very good writer, and I think anybody with the slightest interest in being politically aware during his administration needs to own or at least to have read both his books.
