Books,+Books,+and+more+Books!

 Welcome to Books, Books, and more Books!



Here you will find a list of books that I highly recommend you read this year. Many have no relation to what we are studying this year in U.S. History but I believe reading is a skill that should be worked on a little each day, and to be honest, you just can’t read textbooks only without getting bored. Here are a few books I really enjoy and I hope you do to. As the year moves forward I will be creating a series of podcasts reviewing the books listed below and posting them on this page. The first three are done and can be found below. Happy reading!

These are just a few of the many books that I have enjoyed thoroughly over the last 15-20 years and I will be adding more books throughout the year.

Have a suggestion for a notable book that should be on this page? Email me @ajohn122@mscd.edu and I would be happy to consider it for the list!
