IRB Intro Post 2- Lincoln

The IRB that I read for last marking period was "The Professor and the Madman" a historical non-fiction text written by Simon Winchester.  Although I typically like that genre, I found it difficult to stay interested and I often found myself trying to cram as much reading as possible, so that I didn't have to read it more than I had to.  My dad has a small collection of books in his office, and I found the bibliography, Lincoln written by David Herbert Donald.  Abraham Lincoln is one of my favorite presidents to learn about, and he was involved in the Civil war, another one of the topics that I like to learn about.  Although it is lengthier than the IRB I just read, I think that I will still be capable of reading it, as I will most likely be more interested in it and read it over many nights before each blog post.
