Semicolon Book Club for March
Posted by Sherry on Mar 1, 2010 in 2010 Projects, History, Nonfiction, Semicolon Book Club, U.S. Presidents Reading Project, US History Project |
The theme for the Semicolon Book Club for March is biography/autobiography, and the particular selelction for this month is David McCullough’s Mornings on Horseback, a biography of Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States. The subtitle is “the story of an extraordinary family, a vanished way of life, and the unique child who became Theodore Roosevelt.”
I very much enjoyed reading McCullough’s biography of John Adams last March, and I expect to enjoy this book just as much. TR is one of my favorite historical characters.
Come back to Semicolon after Easter (April 5th) for discussion of this most excellent biography.
