I'd like to read it because I always say I think Abraham Lincoln was probably our best president, but quite honestly, aside from Emancipation, the Gettysburg Address, the Stove Pipe Hats and chin scruffs, rumors of Log Cabins, and the fact that he's on the penny and the 5 dollar bill, I actually know precious little about him. If I'm going to claim he's the best president, I ought to back that up with knowledge, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I should make a point of reading about him and several other presidents whether I'm the lucky name or not.Srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654911015547100987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-72725607082361785062009-02-12T09:40:00.000-06:002009-02-12T09:40:00.000-06:00It seems I'm not the first book addict to stop by....It seems I'm not the first book addict to stop by.<BR/><BR/>Since it's random, I won't beg.
