U.S. Presidents Reading Project

The rules are simple:

1. Read at least one non-fiction book about each of the U.S. Presidents

2. Take as much time as you need

3. Have fun learning about U.S. history and its leaders

When I first saw this challenge I wondered how in the world anyone would have time to read a book about each president in a year. Then I took a closer look and saw that there is no time limitation to this challenge.

This year I am committing to read three books about U.S. presidents. Which means that if I keep this pace I should finish the challenge in about 16 years, which is just silly. But I'm not looking at the end goal right now. I figure that learning something about the presidents is better than nothing.

Here are my choices:

1. The American Journey of Barack Obama - Time Life

2. The Greatest Speeches of John F. Kennedy

3. The Final Days - Carl Berstein and Bob Woodward
