1776

http://reviewbooks.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/1776.jpg
I'm not even putting any of the pictures up that I took last book club- they were too terrible. Mine was probably the best photo, and I didn't even take that one, so... :0) you can thank me later.
Well, the book for this month, as you can see is: 1776 by David McCullough. Here's my review so far: I'm about 100 pages in, and I thought it was pretty dry for about the first 50 or 60 pages. But, now that McCullough is starting to describe the hopeless situation of the continental army at the beginning of the war- it is amazing. I feel the hand of God in the American cause. It is so great to learn the principles our country was founded on... anyways more to come at Bookclub from me, I'm sure.
So, it is at Lisa M's house, and it is scheduled for November 20 right now, but it may be that we can move it back to the 25th, the next Tuesday, to give everyone a little more time. I'll keep you posted on the date.
Good book though, worth the read. We'll all be that much more grateful for this great land we live in, by Thanksgiving. I read the first 60 pages or so, and now I have been listening to it on CD. They have the CD's and the book in the library system.
