I know its not fashionable to read such things, but I eat things like this alive.

Not the best book I've read. Its very conversational. But he makes some amazing points, and frankly I've gained some respect for, and lost respect for other founders after reading this one.

If you have your head up your ass about the founders, but would like to know something though you don't care that much, this is your book. Who knew Jefferson was such a douche?

I bet his slaves knew.

I saw your response and thought "oh Janszoon! I bet he'll have something fairly poignant to say."

I got Rick Rolled.

Well it's sort of poignant in a snarky kind of way.

Not really. Unless you count National Geographic. I haven't felt like the circumstances have been right to start a book lately.

I just read the description on amazon and you're right, it does sound like something I'd like. What about it made you think of me?

I think everybody who has learned about Jefferson beyond high school-level reading knows that. I can't think of any founder who isn't at least a little bit, really.

If you like Gordon Wood and Revolutionary stuff (or care somewhat?) then you might also like The Radicalism of the American Revolution
