I don't usually do reading challenges, but this one promises to be so interesting and education as well, it might be one I take part in!
What a great idea! Are you going to host this as a challenge that people can sign up for? It could be on going with no end date.
I just got a book about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings.
I thought I was having deja vu. I have a co-worker (member of my book club) who is doing the exact same thing! I think she's trying to do it in one year.
Wow! I hadn't really thought about hosting a challenge for this. It was just an idea that sounded like fun. I'm going to give this some serious thought though! Possibly an open-ended Challenge with a separate blog and maybe a discussion group on Yahoo? Suggestions?

This one seems intersting to me too even though I'm Canadian. Have you been able to find some good lists of books about the presidents?
Heather ~ I actually created a whole blog-site for this Project. As you would expect, there is a ton of books on some presidents and not so much on others. Other people who are taking on this Project are encouraged to post their reviews or suggestions on the site to help everyone find books that appeal to them.
