Man, oh man. I finished this book on the train this morning. I have kind of been putting of finishing it, and wanting to have it over with, all at the same time. It was a little bit more difficult of a read than 1776 (from an A.D.D. perspective), but well worth it. I have heard from a few different people that the HBO mini-series based on this book, is pretty good, also. I suppose that I will have to check it out. I marked a few parts in John Adams, to write about. So, hopefully I will get around to it at some point. From what I understand, McCullough also wrote a book about Truman. I am definitely going to add that to my list. I really enjoy the way that he writes, not to mention that the subject matter is super fascinating to me. I think that I may hold off until the fall to start that book though. I need chase this book with something that doesn’t require any thought. Anyway, if it isn’t already totally apparent, I strongly recommend David McCullough’s John Adams.

David McCullough is my FAVORITE author…and John Adams my favorite of his books. The mini-series is decent – (I watched it in the hospital killing time after Sully was born) – not so cool as the book. Truman was awesome too – MUCH longer than John Adams – but man, what a story. I gave it 5 stars on GoodReads. Johnstown Flood’s not too shabby either. I still need to read Mornings on Horseback. Plus McCullough just spoke at Mike’s graduation – (How did we miss that?! – watched it on-line later.)
