What Am I Reading?

I have been on somewhat of a non-fiction reading binge as of late, so the latest book in my reading queue is "American Lion" by Jon Meacham (Random House).

I'm nearly a quarter of the way through it, and it is very interesting thus far. Did you know that after his inauguration he traveled over to the White House where a "party" ensued. That is to say that the giant mob of people trashed the White House all while Jackson's staff created a barricade around him for his safety.

Duels, sexual scandals (Margaret Eaton was apparently a whore), Indian purging, nullification, Union (in)stability, and more await the reader of this already bestselling book.

You should buy it from your local independent bookstore and read it.
