I totally love this book to death, and biographies often very much bore me. I have been meaning to post about it for ages, but maybe I'll just link to you.
While I would love the comparisons to be true, I'm not at all yet convinced that all skinny President-elects from Illinois are equally good. But it does cheer me that Lincoln really didn't have much experience, and people really did worry about whether he'd do a good job.
