Alexander Hamilton - American by Richard Brookhiser

Will it try to make me like Hamilton?

Santa brought me a Kindle last week.

I simply must resist the temptation to DL every single book ever written or even posted about here on this thread.

Thanks for the insight though, I'll be sure to make that my next read once I clear up what I already have before me.

Trust me, it is daunting.

[gorush]

Not that there is anything wrong with the intent to make me like Hamilton. I expected very little from the JQAdams book but was surprised and delighted. I view Hamilton, Marshall and John Adams with contempt but will challenge any writer to change my position.

“Don’t Shoot, It’s Only Me” by Bob Hope

“America by Heart” - Sarah Palin

[1010RD]

I know how you feel because I felt the same way, but I’ve found a new respect for all three, particularly Hamilton.

Once you read it ping me. I’m curious to read your insights and get your opinion.

I came away seeing that Hamilton of the three did the nation an enormous favor.

Dupes by Paul Kengor.

[spyone]

Yes, in order. I’ve loved the first three. I’m very anal about doing series in order.

Given the rapid growth in the data storage industry, some predict within two years we will be able to have every book ever written on a storage device.....in our pocket.

False Memory by Dean Koontz.
A man who can tell a good horror story
without devolving into childish sexual references and the foulest of language.
Unlike that drained of talent creep Stephen King.

And when I’m done the Koontz book...
I’ve my signed copy of America by Heart waiting to savor.

Lone Survivor Marcus Lutrell with Patrick Robinson.

Just finished Bruce Catton’s Terrible Swift Sword yesterday, working through Decision Points.

There seems to be a number of Civil War readers here. Next year marks the 150th Anniversary of the start of hostilities. Do we need a Civil War ping list? Hate to say it, I remember the Centennial pretty well.
