The Briar King was one of those books that sat on my shelf for a few years til I took notice(ran out of other stuff to read) and then surprised me by being a great read. I hope you like it too.

I truly enjoyed reading 1776 by David McCullough.

McCullough knows how to tell a good story. You should try his book on Harry S. Truman if you haven't already done so.

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

My holiday reading besides Ulysses.

Everything I've heard about McCullough's book has been good. You can't go wrong with that writer.
