What Are You Reading Now

[GARY POPOLO]

Hello Everyone. Hope everyone is well. It has been a while since I have spoke to any of you. But I am back now and have to ask what are you reading now? Myself I have just finished a book I am sure most of you have already read American Brutus. What a great step by step record of events up to the assassination and JWB escape and final hours of life. I had said before that I had read Lincoln's Assassins by Roy Chamlee and that was the best book I had read on the assassination. It was a very good book for sure but American Brutus was to me much better. I read and learned so many new things in that book that I had not known prior. I am now reading My Thoughts Be Bloody by Nora Titone. I don't know much about the author but I have been very happy with the books information on JWB's father, mother and his brothers. It gives you great insight on how Booth and his brothers and sister grew up under a father who was strange at best. What really got to me was the way Edwin was toward his brothers especially John and his theater business. But to Edwin's credit he became what his brother John always wanted: Fame and rich beyond his dreams. Not to mention that after the assassination he became an even bigger star of the theater. Then near the end of his life he opened his own private club The Players which only the wealthy and famous were welcome. Has anyone else read this book? If so what are your thoughts?
