It's waiting for me on my nightstand. I was hoping , "TWAIN" would be easier than, " HAMILTON" , but it sounds like it's not! Boo I LOVED ," GRANT". I read the first 400 + pages in 3 days, but the second half took me a little longer.

wow, that's impressive. I read "Hamilton" and liked it. Never imagined it would become a hip hop masterpiece. I haven't read "Grant" yet. I have to work up to Ron Chernow. he tests my concentration and stamina. there's "Washington", too! so much to look forward to.

He does indeed!! 🤣 I watched Ken Burns documentary on TWAIN , 3 times. I loved it. It was so very painful to understand how sad his life was in the end. You'll love "GRANT". I didn't know there was , "Washington" too. WOW! Thanks for letting me know.

he's prolific. I didn't see Ken Burns, but I know what you mean about the end of Twain's life being sad. I could barely push myself through it. I've thought about "Grant" for years. I'll add it to my "to read" queue. thank you!

It's worth watching, especially now that you have read, TWAIN"
