Oh the joy to read a book!

      For Christmas this year I got a Kindle Touch, I an super excited to use it. If you know me you know how much I love to read and how much I do read. I have however a problem, I havent finished some books that I have to read. And I can't start new books until I finish the old ones, and right now I dont want to read the old books, but being the good girl I am I picked up The Real George Washington and I decided I would finish it by New Year's Eve, I found that I had 300 pages left. I can read that many pages in a day or two, but for some reason this book has been so hard for me to read. I figgured out why that was.

     The last book I read in this collection was about a great Thomas Jefferson, who if you dont know, was a key particapant in the creation of the Constituion and the creater of the Declaration of Independenc. He to me is one of the greatest membors of the Constituional Convention.
When he was 15 he spent up to 15 hours reading, and would rather read then go out and party. I love to read and would like to read as many books as I can before I die.

     The book I am currently reading is about George Washington. Who I love too, I just dont relate with him very much. his acts of virtue are estounding and I love how he lead this county with  hope and faith in Heavenly Father that they would make it through the war. But as far as I have read its been all about the war. Dont get me wrong I love some of the stories and the adventure behind all of it. I just dont really like to read about war tacktis, I like to read about gardening and reading. So it has been hard for me to trasition.

     I have noticed that the more offten I read about George Washington and the longer I read also, its gets easier and more enjoyable, I have learned to like the book.

The books are called:
The Real George Washington
The Real Thomas Jefferson
The Real Benjamin Franklin

     I have yet to read the last one. But I would recomend these books to anyone who is looking for a book to read.

     I love both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson so much, they were great/wonderful/awesome men who set a standerd to live by.

     I think one of the sadst things about this area of youth ande teenagers is they dont know/arent tought the characters of the Founding Fathers, there are so many things you can learn, I also bet that half the youth can't name five men who were in the Constitual Convention.

     Needs les to say I did not finish the book in time, but I want to finish it by the begining of the second week of January.

     I am excited to finish this book and go to the next one, I have a very long semester ahead of me, and this is the only way to get it started.
