Books I have been reading

So, it's been nearly a year since I posted a blog on this site.

I last wrote (in March 2006) about a great biography I had read on the life of Harry Truman. Since then I have also read the following books:

  • 1421: The Year China Discovered America (by Gavin Menzies)
  • Qualities That Count: Heber J. Grant as Businessman, Missionary, and Apostle (Ronald W. Walker)
  • The Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown)
  • His Excellency: George Washington (Joseph J. Ellis)
  • Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln (Doris Kearns Goodwin)
  • Wedding of the Waters: The Erie Canal and the Making of a Great Nation (Peter L. Bernestein)
  • Book of Mormon
  • Presidential Doodles (David Greenberg)
  • Pearl of Great Price
  • Journals of Lewis & Clark (ed. John Bakeless)
  • The Form of the Book: Essays on the Morality of Good Design (Jan Tschichold)

I am currently reading Benjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson.
