"READ??! Y'all actually have time to read? If you have any extra hours in your day that I don't, may I borrow some?"

Same here! I started "John Adams" by David McCullough, and my 20 year old just bought Sean Hannity's "Deliver us From Evil". I can't wait to find some time and peace & quiet to read them both. Haven't had time to read much but the paper lately though! (Oh,I DID find time last year to read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (again!)

"John Adams" is a thoroughly impressive work. Once you finish it you will be saddened by the fact that there are no modern politicians that can match him.

I am reading "The Contender: Richard Nixon, The Congress Years" by Irwin Gellman. The parallels are ominous.

Next up is John Keegan's new book "Intelligence in War: Knowledge of the Enemy from Napoleon to Al Qaeda."
