I've been reading a lot of history, after John Adams I read Walter Isaacson's Ben Franklin for a different point of view. I still haven't found an equally good biography of Jefferson. Other McCullough books that I enjoyed were 1776 and his biography of Harry Truman. Doris Kerns Goodwin's biography of LBJ was very interesting. Currently, I am reading everything by Jeff Shaara, historical novels of the American Revolution, Mexican War, Civil War and WWI and II, and a fascinating book by Ruth Richardson, The Making of Mr. Gray's Anatomy: Bodies, Books, Fortune, Fame.
