You have probably been wondering if you were ever going to see a book review again from me. I admit, I have not been reading much lately. I won't bore you with my excuses, but I have been busy. Anyway, I started 1920 several months ago when I signed up for the History Book Club (4 books for a dollar and no obligation to buy anything else - ever! You can't beat that). It's a fun read. There were six presidents (past and future) involved in the 1920 election and we get glimpses of each of them. This election tale is especially interesting given the amount of hoopla surrounding the 2008 election.
The book starts off well, but once Harding is chosen as the Republican nominee (did this give it away?) the book spends several chapters not going anywhere - mainly other side issues in the election itself. Interesting, but not a compelling read. Overall, I enjoyed it and learned a little bit too.
