    David McCullough, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose lovingly crafted narratives on subjects ranging from the Brooklyn Bridge to Presidents John Adams and Harry Truman made him among the most popular and influential historians of his time, has died. He was 89.

    I loved the bios of Adams and Truman.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        @Catseye3 I did the Adams one as audio. I actually remember when I started listening to it.

        I was on the way home from work...

        His story of the Panama Canal is pretty neat too.

        But "Adams" and "Truman" are the best.

            I heard he plagiarized all of his books.

            Education is extremely important.
