Biography of a fictional philosopher. Very interesting book. Im actually studying it now. It is pretty heavy. I have really enjoyed it and i continue. I am also enjoying reading heirs of the founders. Im about halfway through now. It talks about three different characters. First of all, danny webster, john calhoun and henry clay. The early 80s. It is actually relevant to what we are going through today. They were all competitors, so to speak. All members of the house of representatives. Talking about tariffs. Something that we are doing right now as well. I found that very interesting. I have enjoyed both of these books. One that i will be reading in the future is bright future. That has to do with Nuclear Energy. I am serving my special committee on climate change. This will be something im very interested in. I am trying to educate myself as much as i can on all types and have clean energy and Nuclear Energy as one of those. I will be reading these in the future as soon as i finish these others. How do you select the books that you read . I tried to be as diverse as i can with my reading. I have really gotten into some of the early 1800s and mid 1800s. I just finished Andrew Jackson battle new orleans which i enjoyed. I had read a book about Thomas Jefferson and i read a book about Abraham Lincoln and his last trial before he became president. I have enjoyed all of those. I just really enjoy reading. We spent a lot of time on the airplanes. A lot of opportunity to read while i am flying. It is a good way to pass the time.
