What Karl's Reading

On January 2, on “Fox and Friends Weekend,” I revealed that my New Year’s resolution was to read, on average, a book a week in 2010. Since then, I've received a surprising number of questions and decided, with some trepidation, to chart my reading progress.

Here are my latest reads or you can view the full list.

by Hugh Howard

Interesting volume on how George Washington was not just first in the hearts of his countrymen, but also of his country's early artists, whose portraits of him both drew attention to their skill. This also allowed many of them to make a living at art in a small, sparsely populated new nation on the eastern edge of the North American continent.

Science just before the hinge point where it ceased to be dominated by solitary (and often self-trained) idealists and romantics.

by Joan Waugh

Waugh skillfully details how Grant has been seen throughout American history, rising in importance as a symbol of the desire of many Americans for peace, reconciliation and unity after the Civil War. Really good and well written.

Courage and Consequence is a candid and behind-the-scenes view of some of history's turbulent and momentous years. It tells how Bush got to the White House and what happened during his consequential presidency. It's a frank account of what I witnessed and my often-controversial role.
