More of a "flip through" rather than "peruse" sort of book. I enjoyed passages on Teddy Roosevelt (my favorite) and some of the shorter anecdotes, but the longer passages didn't hold my attention very well. Still, the section of quotes from Richard Nixon (who should've just been called Dick, never mind the Tricky, if you ask me) is worth a read.

Another 'scandelous' book about our American history. Very interesting listen.

Fun. Not too in-depth, and an easy, breezy read. Still, it did provide some really interesting, personal information on a lot of people from our nation's history. We, as a nation, have pretty much always been fucked up, it seems. Also, there was a lot of semantic information that was really enlightening: vice-presidents, for instance, used to chosen in a run-off style. The second place candidate was declaed vice-president.

Oh, and apparently James Buchanan was gay. Huh.

Andrew Jackson was a crazy son-of-a-bitch.
