Joe Biden. Finally, we have reached the end of this project. Judging by the current political environment it seems likely I will not be reading a bio on a new president for at least four years. This book is bad. Biden is interesting, but read What it Takes by Richard Ben Cramer for that story.
Donald Trump. You already have an opinion on him. We all do. This book wasn’t very good, and I don’t think there are any good books on him. Not yet, at least.
Barack Obama. The first president I voted for and, I worry, the last I will truly believe in.
Laura isn’t the type of person to abide idleness. She’s always moving, always lunging from one thing to the next.
