(<a target="_blank" href="http://gawker.com/5005250/shameless-publishers-lied-for-profit)">http://gawker.com/5005250/sham...</a> <br/> <br/>All these fictionalized memoirs irritate me; I'd rather read a novel about the same subject... <br/> <br/>On another note, the Jefferson bio's going well. I never knew much about Patrick Henry but he definitely seems like a revolutionary rock star. Everyone knows his famous quote, "Give me liberty or give me death" but when it is placed into the context of his speech and the more so, the complete political context, it's clear he was a thrilling speaker. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/721447?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
