I am really trying to understand these people who may somehow be related to me, but so far I am having a tough time of it. So far I see an uneducated, naive passed-over group that feels others (their unequals!) are cutting in line ahead of them to get "free" federal government handouts (which they have paid for through their taxes). Perhaps I'll develop a bit more empathy in the latter half of the book, I hope so.

Reading for a book club I may be joining soon.

Long before Carl Sagan, Bill Bryson and Neil de Grasse-Tyson, there was Guy Murchie, a polymath who had the gift of writing with a melodious style that I find inviting. Give him a try and let me know what you think.

Just received this book from Amazon and anxious to include it on an up coming talk on: "The Music of the Spheres" I am preparing for some friends. A quick brows through the table of contents and chapters makes me think I like it and will be a good addition to my references. Interested to hear anyone else who is currently reading or has read. I'll save my review for after finishing.

Enjoying Unger's writing and plan to read his other biographies of the Founding Fathers. Puts our current crazy politics in perspective in that we have been here before and survived.

Hope someone will bring this book up to date as there are now many more great pianists.
