    John Adams

    Anyone here read the book "John Adams" by David McCullough?


    I don't read books at all, but I have a little interest in American History and my father in law told me to check it out......Anyway, 650 pages later....WOW!!!!


    Awesome book!!!.....I had no idea that Adams had such a huge part in the revolution.

    If you have any interest in history, you should definately check it out!....now I'm on to 1776.
    I'm like a junkie!

                  I've heard 1776 is fantastic...a friend of mine (a physicist) said it completely changed his views on the Revolutionary War and on president Washington. Gotta finish reading my other books first but thanks for the tip!

                                      Sam Adams was his cousin. This is a thread about history, so before you post here, maybe you should learn some.

                                          Gee, I could've Googled that just like you, but I didn't.
                                          At least I know that they were related--how's that for not knowing history?

                                          Jesus, does every sarcastic post require a disclaimer so that morons won't get worked up about it?

                                              Why do people still mention his name, it's been what like 1.5 years since his banning.

                                              Just let the fat man die already.

                                                  Google????????? I prefer Yahoo. Besides, some of us actually paid attention in school and KNOW a bit of history already.

                                                      However, if it's unimportant history that you know, then that makes your knowledge trivial--like your posts.
