John Adams Readalong

Wallace at Unputdownables is hosting a John Adams Read-along and I'm joining in. I've been meaning to read this Pulitzer Prize-winner, but have been skittish about the sheer length of the thing. I mean, this book is huge. So, when I saw this read-along with a nice and leisurely approach to this daunting chunkster, I decided to give it a go. Here's the schedule:

You all know how busy I am right now, but since this book covers the time period I'm teaching in my classes this term I think I can squeeze it in. Wish me luck! I think I need to go do some push-ups before I pick up the book to start chapter 1....
