@poorbjorn Great! How about “Alexander Hamilton”? Another excellent book by Chernow.
IMO, they are his three best works. I thought “Washington” was good, but not great. And I’m sorry for say that I did not care for “Mark Twain”.
But, I’ve got his “House of Morgan” queued up next.

These people are very adept at “feathering” their nests with great benefits, copious perks, and don’t forget their very generous pensions.

@readswithravi I decided to go to law school and lots of folks told me I was making a mistake.
But, I got a lot of inspiration from this quote:
"Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed."
@instructormike1 I worked with a guy who was a big goofball - always acting silly, pulling pranks, etc.
After finding out he was a target shooter, I agreed to go to the range with him, but with some reservations.
At the range, he was sober and serious - no games. A completely different guy.
@Eghtyslady What an absolute buffoon he is.
He acts like he did something. In fact, the Bears already own the rights to the name “Chicago Bears”.
If they keep the name “Chicago” or change the name to “Hammond”, there’s not a damn thing that ass clown could do about it.
@rogerkimball I’d say that she should be embarrassed. But, of course, that would first require her to have enough self awareness to realize what a buffoon she is.
