Half Done


  • Guns, Germs, and Steel:  The Fates of Human Societies
  • Tell All
  • Damned
  • A Little Matter of Genocide:  Holocaust and Denial in the Americas from 1492 to Present
  • Suttree 
  • Founding Brothers:  The Revolutionary Generation
I made my way through the third book in my stack.  By far, this book 'Founding Brothers:  The Revolutionary Generation' was more difficult than the other books I have read so far.  It wasn't a thought provoking book or so detailed that pages needed to be read and re-read, it was just there.  And that was the problem.  It wasn't anything new or eye opening.  On top of there being no real new information that I learned, the chapters were quite long.  If the book you are reading doesn't hold your interest and you look at how long chapters are, it makes it very difficult to get through the book.

I'm not say that it was a bad book, it just wasn't for me.  It was well written, it was well researched and informative, and it was.....meh.  Oh well, you can't love every history book you read and this one falls into that catagory.
