I am currently reading the biography of John Adams by David McCullogh. I am not very far into it but I can tell I will enjoy reading it. Since Washington was a Mason, I wonder if there will be some interesting bits about Masonry. I'll let you know if there is.

john adams on HBO
If you have HBO, you might want to check out John Adams, the dramatic adaptation of David McCullogh's book. Nothing about Masons yet, but still riveting. My hubby had to pass me the kleenex during the Adams' farewell as he was going to France. Really good stuff!

I picked that book up the other day and I put it in the rotation . There's a few books ahead of it but I should get to it in the next few weeks .

I'm fascinated! You have a plan for your reading? How does it work? I have a friend who reads books alphabetically by author. She has to plan ahead to ensure that when she finished something by an author beginning with W she isn't stuck! It always strikes me as an odd system. I read things as they appeal to me, with the exception of things I have borrowed, as what I think I'm going to enjoy when I finnish my current book may not necessarily still appeal when I come to it. |

I base it on my favorite genre , author and how long I have been anticipating the new release . It's really hard to put into words . Let's say I'm reading Stephen King's newest novel and I have a Dean Koontz , Clive Cussler and a John Saul waiting to read and John Sanford or Bentley Little releases their latest novels , they will be put on top of the pile for me read next while to others will be put on the back burner . Or I'll mix it up ,I'll read horror/thriller , then a mystery and then something historical . But I'm always reading something Masonic at the same time with the others .
Most of the time I have two or three books going at once , I'll read masonic literature in the morning and late afternoon and I'll read an hour or two in the evening on one novel while the wife watches TV and the horror/thriller at night in bed . I love my books and have hundreds of them in my library/den. And I'm funny about my books ,I'll lend out my paperbacks to other people , but my hardcovers never leave my sight .
