Welcome. Around here we discuss books, history, current events, home life, and other things. Politely. (And mostly with good cheer.) The idea is to share information and ideas, and help each other out a bit when we can.

Giuliani-recommended biographies
Rudolph Giuliani recommends biographies of leaders (OpinionJournal, June 10, 2006). Of the books mentioned in the article, these five are highlighted: "Churchill: A Study in Greatness" by Geoffrey Best (Hambledon & London, 2001); "Jefferson and His Time" by Dumas Malone (Little, Brown, 1948-81); "Herndon's Lincoln" by William Henry Herndon and Jesse W. Weik (Belford, Clarke, 1889); "Profiles in Courage" by John F. Kennedy (Harper, 1956); and "President Reagan" by Richard Reeves (Simon & Schuster, 2006).
Thank you Kathryn, you have just added a half-dozen more books to my "to read" list! ;)
