What to heck! Truth is stranger than fiction

I’m pre-grieving President Garfield, who notably died nearly 150 years ago

I am FLYING through this one! It’s as good as everyone says, and I’m already getting so upset about what I already know happens 😭

The doctors damaged Garfield’s health just as much as the initial gunman did. Awful.

They are asking a lot of you

I don’t understand not being able to hold a grudge

Elections/campaigning was very different back then

Very well written. Loved it!

This is SO riveting. I am going between 6ish books right now, but this is the one I keep coming back to.

Great

Don't know why Goodreads suddenly forgot I was reading this.

“If a man murders you without provocation, your soul bears no burden of the wrong; but all the angels of the universe will weep for the misguided man who committed the murder.” James A. Garfield

Fascinating

I heavily relate to the president who just wants to read books in silence (James Garfield is my new favorite President)

I am simply so locked in

He [Garfield] has chosen men for office because of their fitness and ability, and not because they have stuck to the political fortunes of loved leaders.

Slow start - I. read 2 or 3 others. Still on my desk ..

I cannot believe how many times the word “pus” is used. I am going absolutely crazy. I will throw up. STOP STICKING FINGERS IN OPEN WOUNDS.

Wow I love learning about the history of the White House! I hope its never demolished or heavily modified or anything

Reading (listening via Libby) this before I watch the Netflix series “Death by Lightning”.

Reread from 2015 after watching 'Death by Lighting,' and my Garfield fascination is in full swing again.

Am i….a James Garfield girlie?

DNF

They really should have just let him alone. Incompetents and men with fragile egos. That’s healthcare for you.

Alexander Graham Bell is kind of breaking my heart
