27 at 27 : Read Six Non-Fiction Books

Looking at my 27 at 27 list, I wanted to kind of take inventory of what I have for preparation for Number 14 - Read six non-fiction books.

I knew I wanted to read quite a few biographies because I really love learning about people.  Life is so interesting.  I have watched so many documentaries about presidents and artists and architects and anyone else I could think of.

I asked Joshua which US Presidents he thought I should read about first.  His first pick was Teddy Roosevelt.  I am pretty interested in him as well because I watched a movie about FDR and FDR was a huge fan of Teddy.

 

So far:
The Worst Hard Time:  The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dustbowl by Timothy Eagan

Life After the White House by Jimmy Carter

Christmas in Plains by Jimmy Carter
