Hailed as on of the top 100 nonfiction books of all time by modern library Morris‘s Rise of Theodore Roosevelt does not disappoint. Thorough, detailed and highly readable. TR is a subject that injects enthusiasm in the reading. The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kerns Goodwin is also a favorite on Roosevelt. Look forward to Theodore Rex soon!

This has been a real treat for me. After several massive biographies in a row, I was feeling a bit burnt. However, Roosevelt does not disappoint. Heading to the end and look forward to the next two volumes. #History #Biography

Finished Status Anxiety, ended with a meh.
Returning to Young Teddy‘s career in the New York State legislature, and it‘s great storytelling.

Theodore Roosevelt, Civil Service Commissioner, interviewing federal officials in Baltimore that sounds like something out of Gilbert and Sullivan.

Close but no cigar on this crummy wintry slushy day...lol, Theodore Roosevelt or laundry? Not sure what to dive into first...

diovival I am the wrong person to ask this question. I am always finding excuses not to do laundry. 8y
IamIamIam @diovival Hahaha, me too!!! Unfortunately, my husband frowns upon living out of laundry baskets so I've actually got to fold it all...lol, I compromised & read a few pages after I finished!!! 8y

I love a good biography, especially ones about my all time favorite President! Morris's work on TR is one of the best. #funfridayphoto

In the tired hand of a dying man, Theodore Senior had written: "The 'Machine politicians' have shown their colors... I feel sorry for the country however as it shows the power of partisan politicians who think of nothing higher than their own interests, and I feel for your future. We cannot stand so corrupt a government for any great length of time.

This book made me appreciate Theodore Roosevelt even more. It details his early life and how he became the incredible man he was.

Mayread Morris is probably my favorite presidential biographer. His wife Sylvia is also a biographer & historian; she wrote a great bio on TR's wife Edith. Worth reading both to get a fuller picture. 8y
