My old-fashioned, actual phone conversations with friends lately sometimes turn to the topic of what we are reading.

I have not read this one yet, but it was highly recommended to me this morning:

You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington by Alexis Coe

On the Amazon page, there is a blurb from Doris Kearns Goodwin who says, “Every now and then, a fresh, new biography told by a gifted storyteller on a familiar figure captures our imagination.”

I rarely read plain biography, but this sounds like it is pretty entertaining. The reader even gets to find out all about George’s teeth.
