Finally finished 1912. It turned out as expected TR entered the race because he fed up with Taft. That split the Republican vote and Wilson got elected. Also, TR got shot but still finished the speech. Guess you really can't change the facts.

Now ready a bio on Keith Moon. Creatively enough, it is called "Moon". Part way through it. Still in his childhood before the Who.

Just finished Al MIchaels' book "You Can't Make This Up". It reads as if he is sitting with you telling stories. And good stories they are! Now out in paperback.

Just finished "Lindberg" by Scott Berg, bio on Charles A.

I knew the basic story of his pre-flight, flight, child kidnap / death , but did not know he was America's first Superstar. 100s of thousands of people attended every appearance he made in Europe, USA, everywhere for years after the 1927 flight. Un real.

Rest of his life was fascinating. Virtually had no "real" life after the flight. Earned a bunch of money though.

An old Mad Magazine, and then I finally finished reading the electric bill. I think it was in that order?? They read the same. You get to the end, fold it up, and it makes you laugh.
I've just started David Crosby's Bio, "Long Time Gone". Does he make it? No...please. No spoiler alerts.
I was reasonable once.
