#1 is down. Wow, it was hard. I ended up skimming it. That was super boring. It is a non-fiction book that is one mans opinion of all of history of the world. Starting with evolution and how plants crawled out of the oceans . . . really? I did look at every page. I just couldn't read all 6oo something pages. I can't believe that is was the best book for kids they could find in 1922. It has been added to up until the 80's. This book is a thumbs down. Not my taste. On to #2.

Ooohhhh....you're brave going in order like that. I'm kind of skipping around and just picking up the ones I see at the library. I'm also cheating and reading a John Grisham right now. I needed a break from that last one I read!!
