RANDOM BOOK POST
hey dale, have you read 'making of the prefident, 1797'? i think it's by marvin kitman. great book about george washington. read his earlier one too. 'GW's account book'. history with a twist.
i DO recommend these books to everybody. maybe if everybody was a little tipsy all the time we would be in a better place.
madiera madiera! more madiera!

No. I've never been very interested in biographies.
I'm not even sure of what was the last book I read. Up until about 20 years ago I read about 3 books a month. Now just a handful a year. It's a struggle to keep up with the periodicals even as I cut back on them.
Did you ever find the Western Tradition series? No reading required.

A series of 52 half hour lectures covering the history of the Western world. Produced by PBS and WGBH around '89. Don't remember when I first saw it. It seems to run almost constantly here, usually about 05:00.
I've never felt comfortable with "Tradition" in the title. He explains it in the first lecture, but I don't get it.

hmm, i have been a lifelong PBS kid. never heard of it. semi local?
i think your library probably has the kitman books. think that's how i found the encyclopedia of american scandal.
i loaned the prefident book(paperback on sale at B&N) and my aunt 'conveniently' lost it. i think she was pissed at how kitman trashed washington. sometimes she doesn't have a sense of humor.
hmm, maybe i should re-read it next.
