Yes, believe it or not, but I read books without pictures, too!
I tend to favor non-fiction over fiction, the time period depending on where my mind is at the moment. Today I began a book which I’ve had for a while, but am just now getting around to starting: John Adams, by David McCullough. Published in 2001. ISBN – 0-684-81363-7
I have had this book recommened to me by a wide variety of individuals who know me. Even tho I consider myself quite the history buff, I will be the first to admit that I know very little about our second President; and judging by the first 50 or so pages I have read, there is a lot to know about him.
McCullough has a wonderful, narrative writing style which makes the reading seem like a tale, or a discussion, and not cold and lifeless like textbook material. Immediately you are drawn into John Adams’ world at the time of the Revolution. You understand the dire straits our young country found itself in; and you understand the urgency of the actions of our Founding Fathers.
I will offer occassional commentary on this reading as I feel the situation warrants. Most of my thoughts will take place once I complete this book. I just posted this so that I could feel like Oprah.
