>>25310301i dare you to read douglas southall freeman's unabridged biography of washington
>>25310310>books total over 3600 pages>audiobooks split into 7 different books each at least over 15 hoursholy shit lol
>>25310301Mayflower by Philbrick seems like an obvious choice. I second the Foote choice. Go straight to the source and read Rights of Man, some of the Federalist Papers? Or maybe a selection of Jefferson (pictured)? I'd add some fiction actually, try Gore Vidal's Burr and Lincoln.
>>25310317yeah. i've read the first one and it's very good, only i skipped the second half of the first chapter, which bearly mentioned george beyond the date of his birth.
