So currently I am reading,
1776 by David McCullogh- A great narrative of America's first year of independance. I am about halfway through and am at the Battle of New York which happened in August 1776. Reading this makes me think that the Founder's generation was the greatest(this is to be explored more in a future post.)
On Writing Well by William Zinnser- A great guide to writing nonfiction. Hopefully this book will make these post more enjoyable. Want to get Shrunk and White's "Elements of Style", have heard that is a really good writing guide and was recommended by some of my Professors at UT.
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy- Only 15 pages left!! After about a thousand pages of narrative Tolstoy decides to slap a 35 page full blown philosophy of history which can be a bit slow, but is also fascinating.
