but here's the thing. the people that read the books, because the books aren't about politics -- and when you and i talk, we have never once talked politics. >> no. there's no ideology in the books. >> so when people read the books, all of a sudden, they're hooked. if they read one, they start reading all of them. >> what did you think, as a veteran writer, when "lincoln" hits number 1 and is on the list for 79 weeks? what went through your mind? >> well, i was shocked, because, you know, i thought it was kind of a one-off, like, we were just gonna do this one book, and i was thrilled to do it. and then i had actually signed a contract to write another book on my own. and then it hits. and 2 days after i signed the contract, you're calling me and you're saying, "we're gonna do 'killing kennedy.'" and i literally had to call the other publisher and say, "i'm not gonna write this book for a long time." and then that's what began the whole progression. >> all right. martin dugard, everybody. >> all right, bill. >> next up, glenn beck has some questions about lincoln's final days. i'll visit with him. >> "very few history books are written this way, in a story form, so you actually feel like you know what the story is." >> you're there.
