After finishing The Men Who Lost America I am pushing on to Revolutionary Summer, a second account of the revolution. This genre of books is fascinating to me and I would like to keep reading them but they could consume all my time.  I went through Theodore Dreiser, Richard Wright, and Ralph Ellison. While I am trying to catch up on some classics, especially Faulkner's entire series, they can be so painful to read that I am doing with sampling a few.  For a change, I just read Monica Murphy's Crave, a little romance story that was as most, predictable but entertaining.  I like to read at least Pulitzer Prize winners, that series having started in 1916 with authors like Ernest Poole and His Family that describes life in New England a long time ago.  Then there is The Great Bridge, Truman and The Johnstown Flood by McCullough and his many other great books like 1776.  And then, of course, I need to be reading contemporary literature as well, and guess what?  The day runs out of hours. But oh well, I won't give up but at least continue to sample the best.
