What are you reading?
Let's share book ideas! I'm currently reading Huckleberry Finn. Haven't read it since I was a kid and, no surprise, it's a lot more complex than I remembered :). And a good traveling book! Als...

Finished Queen's Consort, finished Jen Lancaster... Stories I'd Tell in Bars....now reading Dead Presidents: An American Adventure into the Strange Deaths and Surprising Afterlives of our Nations Leaders.
Ever since reading the three volume set about Theodore Roosevelt and The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin I have been on a reading quest about our presidents. I have also read a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt and of Edith Carow Roosevelt( Theodore's wife) Have also read First Families by Bonnie Angelo The Impact of the White House on Their Lives ...about the children of the presidents...some very very sad stories.
If anyone is interested in reading the 3 volumes about Theodore Roosevelt they are written by Edmund Morris and are titled
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt ( about his early years obviously)
Theodore Rex (about his political life)
Colonel Roosevelt (about the years after being president)
For anyone interested in history of the USA I recommend these books. TR was one of the most amazing persons I have ever read about and I have read many biographies. And even if I don't agree vehemently with some of the decision he made I still found his life (personal and political) and adventures and his influence to be fascinating as all get out!!!!
