    You ever read McLaughlin’s “John Adams” – I learned so much about this man. Probably one of the most underrated President’s ever. A genius who goes largely unnoticed and all the credit goes to Franklin and Jefferson. This man made it all happen. An amazing man.

    I’m currently half way through it! It is very good, and I have come to respect Adams quite a bit. Plus, he loves books, which is always a plus in my book. :)
