A lawyer who reads history. I accept your invitation. I am now reading "Madison's Notes on the Constitutional Convention". I have about four other books going including, "The Battles for Spotsylvania Courthouse and the Road to Yellow Tavern". I have made about three tries at Madison's Notes. It seems hard to follow at times and I have had to write a list of the delegates to keep track. It's like assigned reading, a book I think I should read.
I guess country lawyer means you are a sole practicioner. I have been solo for 25 years. Only as good as the next client who walks in the door. Let me know something about your practice. Between that and three children you must have to fight for time to read. We raised two boys who are long out of the home.
I think you will enjoy LibraryThing. I spend some time on it about every day. It has become my social life. Drop me a line so we can get acquainted. Thanks for the invite.
