The next book in my quest is John Adams by David McCullough. My brother told me that whatever I do, I shouldn't read any books by McCullough, but this book was available on the book swap I use. I googled McCullough and it appears that serious historians hate him and the general public loves him. I sincerely hope that means his book will not be boring. It is a weighty tome of 650+ pages, but it is written in a very readable style and I am enjoying it so far.
I have also been listening to an audio book about Benjamin Franklin on road trips interspersed with Game of Thrones A Song of Fire and Ice when I need a change of pace. The repetition about the Continental Congresses and the War for Independence which apparently we barely won have helped my brain to finally grasp some of the events that make up American History.
