Got David McCullough’s John Adams (Simon & Schuster) in the mail today, which I will be reviewing for PopMatters in anticipation of the seven-part HBO miniseries based on it. I’m also finishing up Frank McLynn’s Richard and John: Kings at War (Da Capo), which has so far been excellent. It’s a compelling narrative told by an author who has a real way with words; I’m looking forward to highlighting my favorite passages in my write-up. My review of Bob Blumenthal’s Jazz guide is awaiting publication. [02.05.08]
