    Hope the rest of your trip was fun and informative!

    I hope that you can find the book. From what I understand it's an elusive book. Check the Bio Discussion group for threads about it.

    Regina, go look over on the biographies discussion group. There was a bio about a woman who loved riding a motorcycle. I saw that and thought of you.

    It does! It makes me feel like I'm still not too old to learn . . .and I think I enjoy it more now than I used to . . .

    I'm almost done with The Nine. I'm certainly learning a LOT from it . . .the only thing that bothers me is it does seem to have a little bit of an anti-conservative bias in the writing. I don't know if I'm reading too much into it. Maybe. But, I feel as though now I need a book on each of the major cases . . .because I sort of want to know more details than the book provides.

    Regina, I want to nominate a Lincoln book but I don't see anywhere to send a private message. How do you want to handle this.

    So I saw. I like that you e-mailed it back to me -- I thought it was an excellent way of confirming its receipt!

    I have not read The Bastard Prince, and it is one that my library does not own. It is on my Amazon wish list, though, so if you decide to read it, I hope you post a review!
