I just got a copy of Jon Meacham's latest book And There Was Light. The book is about our 16th president Abraham Lincoln, a man who governed America during a period of polarization and political upheaval similar to today's environment. He was both hated and hailed just as the last 4 U.S. presidents have been. The book sounds like it will be instructive on how to handle the struggles we are currently experiencing.
I love chunky books and this is certainly one of them. The publisher says it's 720 pages while my ebook version is 1260 pages. I am sure it will be a lovely read.
I haven't read a biography in a while. Lincoln is always an interesting subject. Have a good week.

Sheesh, that's a long one! I finished Count of Monte Cristo recently at 1200+ pages and though it took some time, it went faster than I expected. I'm not big on long historical biographies.....too much like history class. :) Hope you enjoy it.
