Thanks. I loved the Devil in the White City! I will look for the George Washington Book.
Another one in this vein that is great is The Island at the Center of the World - you couldn't make up a character as wild as Peter Stuyvesant.

Hey, Sherman Alexie just won a National Book Award for the book I just finished reading last week: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.
I love that. It was a great book."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

I found the beginning somewhat tedious but was really surprised at the end to find out everyones ultimate place in history.
