I attended a fabulous event sponsored by Anderson's Bookstore last night. David McCollough spoke about his new book, The Wright Brothers. The perseverance and genius of these two men at the last turn of the century is inspiring. McCollough was an engaging speaker who peppered his discussion with multiple anecdotes of how people considered them well-mannered, but crazy. The U.S. government didn't take them seriously until the government of France invited them to share their world-changing engineering feat. I can't wait to start reading! Is anyone else interested in history books (fiction or non-fiction?).
