So last fall I mentioned that I was reading The Count of Monte Cristo. I read about 400 pages of it, and the first 300 were really great. Then it dragged on soo much with side characters that I didn't care about. I put it down for good.
I started American Lion by Jon Meachem, about Andrew Jackson. It's taken me a while to read the first 100 pages, not because of the book, but because of my other reading demands. It's very accessible and fresh popular history.
What else we got around here?
