This book exudes a sense of isolation and a fear of bad decision making, and at the same time a feeling of complete empathy for the main character. I think this book will stay with me for awhile.

Inspiring! A great reminder of other people's challenges and a window into how they can be conquered.

Interesting point Toobin acknowledges in Supreme Court History, and it's current make up. Already enjoying this book.

I started with "On Bowie." No control!

In a society fixated precisely on how much money one makes, what kind of car one drives, how big one's house is, and whether or not one is famous, the education of young people isn't just undervalued and underpaid work. Pg 162

Mehso-so

Not exactly what I had expected, but nevertheless a very good book! I had hoped for more about the writing of the Declaration of Independence, but very little was included. This book was all about the battles, which isn't my favorite material. And yet, even though I knew the ending, it had suspense!

With the 4th of July around the corner, this should be an appropriate read, along with "A People's History."

The Taliban is not an organized force like we imagine...It's a mentality, and this mentality is everywhere in Pakistan. Page 232
