What we're reading - The Lost Constitution by William Martin

I'm back with another historically tinged "quest" thriller. This time we are in search of an annotated early draft of the United States Constitution that may have some of the framers personal thoughts on the Bill of Rights and particualarly on the 2nd admendment and our right to bear arms. Topical indeed these days, but William Martin's new book "The Lost Constitution" is a fine read that also gives one some food for thought on the topic [and from both extreme sides of the issue]. Look for "The Lost Constitution" on the library's bookshelves and on the beaches this summer!

The library has audiobooks on cd and cassette as well as the book. Enjoy! And tell me how you like William Martin. When I was at Book Expo an other librarian told me that his books are very historically correct and really discribe the New England area.

You might like to read Steve Berry. "The Alexandria link" and "The Templar legacy" are great reads and remind me of the Nicolas Cage movie: "National Treasure." And by the way, a sequel of "National Treasure" is in the process of being filmed at the Library of Congress.

Tell me how you liked the books. Do you have any other autors who write similar book? Share their names with us by commenting.
