Just Don't Read Anything by Richard Brookhiser and Alexander Hamilton was Never President

When I was adding books to my wishlist at paperbackswap.com, a book about Alexander Hamilton was suggested and in stock. I recognized his name and ordered the book thinking he was president number four or five. The book arrived and a day or two later I printed up a list of the presidents so that I could read them in order and Alexander Hamilton was NOT on that list. Ack! I decided to go ahead and read the book since my John Adams book wouldn't arrive for about a week. Apparently Hamilton is a scandalous character, illegitimate, adulterous, and died in a duel and Brookhiser has managed to make his biography the most boring moralizing book I have ever read.  He refers to Hamilton's father as a "bum". SMH! I had to read the sentence again to be sure. I have pretty much given up on the book and now the lifetime list of books I am unable to finish due to boredom is a total of eight.
