TV Diet

In July, I am not watching TV. I can watch Netflix movies and I can go on the Internets, which is where I a waste most of my time. I have about a dozen books that I am halfway through, so I plan on finishing them. Right now I am reading Mr.'s book- 1776 by David McCullough. I gotta say, I think I am a little enamored with McCullough. I caught a short documentary about him on HBO and have listened to one of his speeches on American Public Media and he is such an affable guy besides being brilliant and passionate.
1776 is a pleasant read about the Revolutionary War. One of the things that he is able to do which makes this non-fiction history book a page-turner; is to make the the major players like characters in a novel.
