The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin could be considered three books in one. Two biographies and a history of investigative journalism
I specifically enjoyed Mr. Tetro’s techniques of aging his paintings. How he managed to buy old paper, as well as interesting tidbits about art history.
All About Me! concentrates more on the author’s entertainment portfolio, and all the things which made Melvin Kaminsky into Mel Brooks.
I especially enjoyed reading about his relationship with General Sherman & Abraham Lincoln. Grant writes in direct and precise language, with a clear narrative
Tarantino appreciates movies and has much passion. He’s not a casual movie buff, he writes well & doesn’t hold back from showing his wit, knowledge, and insight
I enjoyed reading this book and learned a few things as well. It reminded me of a movie I’ve enjoyed since seeing it in 1983
Opposable Thumbs is informative, and I feel as if I somewhat got to know the two men, it’s easy to read and gets its points across clearly without much fluff
After reading this book, I agree with the author that Grover Cleveland deserves to be better remembers than just a trivia answer
This is an excellent biography with fantastic collections of charts, pictures, and maps. His time as a new General is something I found to be most interesting
I find the behind-the-scenes information fascinating, it amazes me what it takes for a movie. The narrative is entertaining as well as informative
