Question of the Week - Question of the Week #73: Summer Reading Lists
I'm currently reading "The Fourth of July..and the founding of America" by Peter de Bolla. It exposes the misleading things we learned in school. Really very interesting. For example, July 2, 1776 should actually be Independence Day (and the author explains the facts that we didn't learn). I am a huge 'birth of the country' guy. I love reading about how we got here and who was responsible. I have discovered many false things we were taught in my own reading, so when I read the premise of this book I had to give it a try. Happy Reading All!!

Hey shy girl... Voltaire is apparently an issue for English as well as Spanish. It seems to me the French should adjust and hook us up!!
