1. I really love reading nonfiction. Especially biographies or autobiographies.
2. I love the Vanderbilts.
3. It won the Pulitzer this year for nonfiction.
The problem is that it is dry. And confusing. I have absolutely zero schema for steamboats and for the first 150 pages (that's how far in I am), the word "boat" has been on each page approx. 87 times. Last night, I read 9 pages in an hour. NINE PAGES! Again, if you know me well (like, really, really, well), this should be shocking information. I am quite sure that my father or my brother would be finished with this book by now. It would definitely be up their alley.
I'm giving it the rest of the week. If I can't get into it, then, well, onward Christian soldier! Whatever that means. :)

Hi! Something's wrong with my computer. I can't find your email address! I just finished The Forgotten Garden. You have to read it!!! It's awesome. I couldn't put it down -- even thought it started out a little slow.
Hope you are having a fun summer!
