Im doing a lot of things not particularly new but id meant to be good not bad at. They start with to sort of reallife rescue stories from world war ii. One i am reading now is a Mitchell Zuckoff book, frozen in time to crash in the second world war. Then the rescue mission after them also in town and another friend disappeared. They finally did rescue these guys for a month and the tale of an airplane. That is just a gripping story. The second part is about an expedition to go back and find the people lost trying to rescue the original crew and the located aircraft in all kinds of things who is a great story. Henry did not come you read the book jacket and its got another one, lost in shangrila if thats the precise title about a mission that went abroad that was supposed to be a joy flight in new guinea 1945. The rescue was pretty harrowing and took monthend people survived. So surviving a desperate situation is probably good rating for congress in an election year. Then i had the opportunity to meet recently and i may mispronounces name because it was david fun trail, we can rise to greatness and peter roskam, our deputy with put together a couple weeks ago and gave us all book so i got it for free, autographed. The lincoln has always been a compelling figure for any politician in any in american. The greatest president , the most critical time in americas history. I love the way his political skills, you know, have so much to do with holding the country together. And holding this party together. Theres probably a lot of lessons and this is a republican majority in the 1860s that had never been to maturity before. Yet the majority in the senate and house the house but never function that way. Not a Single Person had been part of a republican majority. How do you act, how do you really come up with the appropriate balance between president ial power legislative oversight and lincolns sheer political scale. And cunning. You know, manipulating various factions. Anyway, we had a wonderful discussion about that and it got me really interested in reading the book. And then theres two other biographies i pressed myself im going to be. One is william next release book on grant. We are going to read. A reassessment of grants. Nobodys ever doubted what a great general he was somehow critical u. S. To win in a civil war. But theres been a lot of questions about him as president. But i think you sort of government are a little bit of the rehabilitation right now. The last one i promised myself i would read and mrs. Sun king roy blunt from missouri who was a great leader and a good friend that brought to my attention and that is jane smith biography of eisenhower. He was a wonderful biographer. I remember any agency that a dual biography of lee and grant was very famous. Again, gray had been telling me what a great book this was on eisenhower. And then i have been to a lecture on cspan history. Smith died in 2012, but they were replaying the lecture and generalship and i was really intrigued that. I thought my body roy has been bugging me to read this book. Ive just listened to this great lecture and one other experience i had was 20 years ago, but it is great stuff so instead im going to read the eisenhower boat. When you are my age come you remember eisenhower so hes not quite the historical figure and lincoln or grant would be. Hes a reallife person. Was reading about precedence that i feel like just because i like experience have some connection with either have it back to their presidency eradication met them. Just a fascinating thing. Do you know anybody else interested on your website is quick i do. Or sometimes recommend within months. Sometimes we put together, i think well do link in this month and we will have three or four books that are particularly good on lincoln. I wish i could take credit for that idea. Our Brilliant Communications director came up with a finish that nobodys going to be interested in what im reading. Surprisingly its become a question of what i get in my district quite a bit. And they like it. I think they kind of like to know what youre thinking about who they hope its not politics directly all the time. It is kind of refreshing. Or someone will say about that book, to archive data is an idea of the book list. It actually breathes a little connection between you and some of your constituents, at least those engaged have to go to your website. Thank you. It was fun.
