Given this this is Glorify White Male Leadership President's Day weekend, I wanted to spend it reading something appropriate. Unfortunately the book on the 1952 presidential election that I ordered through Inter-Library Loan did not arrive in time, so I find myself a little adrift. I have two books in progress, but as both of them are related to assignments, I wanted to read something that didn't feel so obligatory.

The first book I turned to was David Blight's new Frederick Douglass biography, but while it's proving a fantastic book it's not really fitting my mood. The reading project I'm contemplating (which I'm increasingly inclined to undertake) has me wanting to start reading something about an English monarch, but unfortunately I don't have anything at hand. Instead I'm settling for one about a British politician, which so far seems to be fitting the bill.
