...I read The Economist cover-to-cover usually in one sitting on the day it arrives (Saturday). Time very well spent. I have subscriptions to other periodicals, which I skim and choose maybe one article per edition to read in detail: Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review, Atlantic, Wired, Forbes, and New Yorker...
1. David Herbert Donald, Lincoln. A lifetime project of mine is to read one or more of the “best” biographies of each of the U.S. Presidents, in chronological order. Many good books out there, so progress through the Presidents is slow. More has been written about Lincoln than any President, for good reason. He was a complex and transformational figure. His life offers a host of leadership lessons. This particular book would be a contender for “very best” biography of Lincoln. Suggestion: read this book, then see the new movie by Steven Spielberg, Lincoln.
2. Garry Wills, Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words that Remade America.
