For some reason I'm feeling a very deep connection to John Adams. I'm not really sure why. I'm sure it has something to do with 1776 coming onto my iphone shuffle playlist. But he was a man who got things DONE whilst his Congress piddled twiddled and resolved. I tried to find a book to read about him today - but the only books I could find were heavy cumbersome and incredibly boring. Didn't anyone write a good book about a president? Why must they all be 800 pages long and written like a text book. I'm sure John Adams was a fascinating incredible man every bit as interesting as Edward Cullen or Harry Potter - so why is he so dull to read about? (And don't tell me to get the David McCullogh one - I have NEVER made it past the first chapter of one of his books. I'm happy you find him fascinating - but he helps me sleep at night. I want to be INSPIRED! DRIVEN TO ACTION! INTO THE FIRE! (for the record - apparently a new John Adams book is to be released in October - maybe THAT one will be inspiring! It includes Abigail as well - and she wasn't too shabby herself.) Maybe I should shame myself and look in the children's section. It will be nice to read a book with a plot - not just very large words from a dictionary.
Well it's August - what wonders await?
