You've got to be the fastest reader I ever heard of! One novel on a cross-country flight each way is the best that I can do.

Naahhh! Certain is 'cheating'; those are comic books and Cliff-Notes he's reading.

Maybe "novel" was the wrong word. I read three books.

One was David McCullough's "1776" (admittedly, one of his thinner works). Another was "Benedict Arnold's Navy" by James Nelson. The third was a Tom Clancy novel. Frankly, as much as I like Clancy, after a couple of weeks I can't differentiate one from another in my memory so I don't know which one it was.

That said, comic books would have been more informative than the rags passed off as magazines. And Cliff's Notes got me through college.
