  • Paging Bob Kohm

    A while back I asked the pen for a good book on Theodore Roosevelt. You had a suggestion and I misplaced it.

    I am currently about half way through Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris and really enjoying it.

    Can you please tell me again the book you recommended?

    Thank you.

    Morris wrote a trilogy on Roosevelt, no?

      He did, Rex is the middle one, covering the presidential years. The first, the Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, is considered by some to be a classic of the genre.

        I believe that I had recommended Morris, Gregg. I'll look at my bookshelves over the weekend and see if I can come up with something else.

            Thank you gentlemen.

            I found Theodore Rex in a used book store (I am shocked at how much I am enjoying this book). It did not occur to me that Morris would have written more than one about Roosevelt. It did occur to me that I had asked the pen about this subject and Bob came up with one. Since this book is just about the presidential years, I thought I would throw it out there, as now I am really interested in pre-president Ted.

            I have a bit of a funny quirk, I do not really remember authors' names and I am not sure I have read more than one book by any author. Then again since I don't remember authors' names I could be wrong.
