I have recently started a new book, A. Lincoln: A Biography. It is a fascinating book written in a readable style that has captivated me from the start.
It's books like this that make me the luckiest person in the world because I read. It makes you so joyful to read books, whether fiction, or in this case, non-fiction. I'm also reading a non CW fiction book that is a very fun read.
It's amazing that Lincoln holds one's fascination and interest. I never tire of his story. Of course it helps that a writer as good as R.C. White is writing the book. It's my first read by him.
The book was highly recommended by the Lincoln Gettysburg Forum. The two men who lead that group are Lincoln enthusiasts, to say the least.
This book is the 4th or 5th book that I've gotten this year on Lincoln, the bicentennial of his birth. I have several more books to buy and read, too.
A good time to get "into" this great American. Wow.
It's a great time to be reading because the summer is here soon, and I can get into reading VERY seriously. I plan a book a week, at least. Yea!
I plan to blog seriously, too. I hope to go to Shiloh this summer. I plan to travel quite a bit so there will be plenty of time to add to this journal while on the road.
It's a great time to be a teacher! The end of May is awesome!! Looking forward mightily to happy days to happy nights reading!!
