Book Completed: Starship in the Stone by M.R. Forbes
As I was struggling with the biography of Robert E. Lee by Fitzhugh Lee I decided I needed a break and picked up this book.
Fun book, interesting concept. Give it a try.

Book Completed: General Lee: A Biography of Robert E. Lee
This book was written by Fitzhugh Lee who was also a player in the Civil War. My problem with the book is the treating Lee almost as infallible. He had some truly brilliant tactical battles but he was not infallible as we can see at Gettysburg.
Regardless, an interesting book.
Some books are harder than others
I’ve been reading a biography of Robert E. Lee, General Lee, A biography of Robert E. Lee, Author: Fitzhugh Lee, and man… it is a slog. I feel like I’ve been reading it forever and I’m half way done.
I don’t think the writing is bad but the bias towards Lee’s ‘genius’ is almost overwhelming at times.
