GDG- Lincoln books

[Jim Ferguson]

One of the aspects of Lincoln I had not appreciated before reading the book
was the degree to which Lincoln enjoyed the role of a story teller. I
suppose one might say as with actors, especially for politicians, all the
world's a stage. (Sorry Shakespeare )

<< To follow up on this general topic, this morning Book-tv repeated Doris
Kearns Goodwin"s discussion of her book "Team of Rivals" that C-SPAN
recorded at the Book Festival on the Mall in D.C. a few months ago.  She
drew a packed audience into the tent, and delivered a basically
extemporaneous presentation with clarity and passion.  She physically looked
a little wasted, but that might have been from fatigue caused by the book
tour.

The book is still in my growing pile of "got to get to soon" reading matter.
The comments on this forum as I recall have been uniformly positive, so I
better move it to the top soon to find out what the hubbub is all about.

You won't regret it.  A superb book.
