Well, I haven't posted in a while (since May 20 so says blogspot) but I'm back. Not only back but back with a Crazy Hair-Brained Scheme. See during my little vacation from posting I discovered the author A. J. Jacobs. I read his "Year of Living Biblically" where he tries to live out to the letter all the dos and don'ts of the Bible. I also read "The Know-It-All" where he decides to read the Encyclopedia Britannica from start to finish. It is this chronicle that has given me my Crazy Hair-Brained Scheme. I am going to further my study of US history by reading one biography on each of the Presidents. Oh yeah, in order.
Now I do realize that for some this may be light reading - Millard Fillmore comes to mind - but for the most part this should be some serious stuff. On the odd chance I cannot find a biography of a president - again Millard Fillmore comes to mind - I'll have to substitute from somewhere....hmmm maybe the EB can be my fallback.
About Me
- The Curmudgeon
- A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities. They have the temerity to comment on the human condition without apology. Their versions of the truth unsettle us, and we hold it against them, even though they soften it with humor. - JON WINOKUR
