I just finished " The Residence" pretty interesting. glad I read it.It is about the people who work in the white house. Before that I read " America's First Daughter" liked it too, but got an entirely different view of Jefferson than I had had prior to the read. I just started reading " The Boston Girl" it is about immigrants in the mid 1800's. So far I like it too. It seems I cannot pass anyplace that sells books without finding several to read. At this time I have a whole stack of books waiting. . After this book I am going to read " the Audacity of Hope". That read will take me a while longer.
Watch "Jefferson in Paris" for an expanded view of some of the same time frames covered by "America's First Daughter".
Just finished reading 'Democracy in America' and feeling the call to re-read Tolstoy's 'War and Peace'. It takes place in the same generation as the prior book and gives another perspective of Voltaire's thoughts.
