So, I'm reading my second disappointing book in a row. My biggest problem with this one is that although it's good enough, it isn't telling me much I don't already know. When I read history I want to gain some new insight or learn something new. And it seems a bit repetitive. But there is one gem that I've discovered in the book:
"They lived a cloistered, segregated, and selfish life, much like Ivy League professors today."
(And, I dare say, other liberal elites.)
