So many political books, so little time.

Which book party are you planning to attend this evening? Consider your options:

Susan Eisenhower (yes, granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower) is hosting a book party in Georgetown for Michael Korda, author of “Ike: An American Hero.”

Then Gloria Borger, Kathy Kemper, Steve Lombardo and HarperCollins Publishers will throw a book party at the Metropolitan Club for The Wall Street Journal’s Online Executive Editor Alan Murray and his latest tome, “Revolt in the Boardroom: The New Rules of Power in Corporate America.”

But the biggest book party of the night belongs to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who discusses “The Age of Turbulence” at George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium. Greenspan will chat with author Daniel Yergin, and the event is co-sponsored by Politics & Prose and the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association.

For the true A-listers, the book party of the week is a smaller, more intimate book party for Greenspan on Friday evening at the Decatur House. It is being hosted by historian Michael Beschloss and Washington Post Company CEO Don Graham.
