I grew up with an English professor for a grandmother. My grandfather and her are what I like to call “cultured” which means for fun you watch PBS documentaries, visit museums in your free time and above all, you read. Growing up, I will exaggerate only a bit and say that I was taken to every play, museum and educational activity in existence, I was probably read every children’s book in existence too. As a kid I’m not sure you quite grasp what this is doing to you. Well, today, I grasp what it has done to me as I sit here at my computer editing photographs, listening to classical music, drinking tea and thinking about how much I can’t wait to curl up and finish this amazing 700 page historical biography I’m reading. Thanks, grandma :)
By the way, has anyone seen the HBO John Adams series? I’ve heard it’s amazing and plan on watching it after I finish the book if every one says it’s worth it. The book is amazing by the way.
YES the John Adams series is really good!! We own it and have watched it more than once!!!!
The John Adams Bio is one of my top 5 reads ever. Excellent!
