Challenge: U.S. Presidents Reading Project

Lezlie has started a perpetual challenge to read one nonfiction book about each president. There is no time limit and it can be retroactive. I will not post reviews of books I read before I started blogging. This is a great life goal, and my thanks goes to Lezlie for thinking of this challenge.

Book lists and other participants are available on the challenge's blog (here).

Although I have read biographies and histories of several presidents, I am going to start clean -- except for our second president. I read David McCullough's John Adams when it first came out. It was my top read for that year, and I can't imagine that there'd be a better or more thorough study. I highly recommend it (but will not be reviewing it here).

As luck would have it, I have books about Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln, Jefferson, and FDR already waiting in my TBR pile, so I'll likely read them first.

Stay tuned!
