Greg is 50% done with An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963
1500 Cuban Exiles are preparing to storm the beach at the Bay of Pigs. Cuba has over 20,000 troops. I'm going to guess this isn't going to end well, even if I had total ignorance of history.

Greg is 22% done with Means of Ascent (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, #2)
So far this has just been mostly just a recap of the first book. I guess it wasn't written thinking someone would read them back to back.

Greg is starting Hoover: An Extraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times
October 19th 1929, an economist the author suggests is the greatest the United States ever said in a statement that stocks were not inflated, and that they weren't yet showing their underlying value. Um, being that fucking wrong (well right about underlying values, but in the wrong direction) should discredit him from being called the greatest economist or any good at his job.

Hoover: An Extraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times

Greg is starting Wilson
I'm not sure I'm listening to the book people seem to rave about. The authors worship of Wilson seems to get in the way of holding him accountable for shitty things. God, can't people realize they can be critical of things they love?
