If you read Burr I will committ to re-reading it because that would be a killer thread. It could go on for weeks. I have close friends with whom I have nothing in common except the fact that we have read these historical novels. Understand, this is not Gordon Wood type history. This is dramafication based on fact. For instance, we know that T.R. and W.R.H. met at The White House. No one knows exactly what was said. In "Empire" Vidal creates a terribly plausible scenario-and it rules. In the first book, he takes on Burr as Protagonist rather than as "guy who shot Hamilton". Enjoy.

I just remembered this SS. Let's get reading on Gore Vidal people.
