Presidents: Retrospective Reading

2 Comments

For the U.S. Presidents Reading Project, we’re allowed to include books we have read before we began the project. (hallelujah!)

Here are presidential books I’ve read but not reviewed:

About John Adams: John Adams by David McCullough

About Abraham Lincoln: With Malice Toward None by Stephen B. Oates

About Ulysses S. Grant: Ulysses S. Grant: The Unlikely Hero by Michael Korda

About Theodore Roosevelt: A Bully Father by Joan Paterson Kerr

About Franklin D. Roosevelt: No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II by Doris Kearns Goodwin

About Richard Nixon: The Final Days by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein
About George H. W. Bush: All’s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President by Mary Matalin and James Carville

About Bill Clinton: The Survivor: Bill Clinton in the White House by John F. Harris

About George W. Bush: Smashmouth: Two Years in the Gutter with Al Gore and George W. Bush by Dana Milbank

Plus about twenty hundred books about Kennedy. Why, I do not know. It just is.

    Wow, Unruly…you're doing really great..I want to join this challenge…I wonder if they'd let me count a graphic novel about James A. Garfield? Also, I've read 2 about Lincoln this year, properly celebrating his bicentennial.

    Bybee,
    Oh, I'd definitely count the Garfield graphic novel. (Heck, I think you should get bonus points for even finding such a thing!)

    And I sort of wish I could substitute one of the Kennedy bios for, say, Polk. And Fillmore. (Poor Fillmore.)
