Sigh... I wept! I knew what was going to happen, and I still wept! A testament to his character, his legacy, his greatness, and her excellent writing.
You may laugh...or you may not, reminded of our country's great loss...but I wanted to finish the book before I saw the movie! And we have Lincoln ready to watch, as soon as we are ready to watch a 3-hour movie. When I started reading the book, Liam Neeson was going to play Lincoln. So much has happened in the interim!

I remember from my bookstore days that everyone was buying the book because Obama was reading it. He had just become president. A lot of water under the bridge for him too since then.
Exactly! It's all so amazing.
And water in the big bathtub--I heard Doris Kearns Goodwin on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" talking about Taft and Teddy. I only got half-way through "Bully Pulpit", but I'll check out the cd again.
Oh, my God, there's more, isn't there?
Doris knows her presidents.
She sure does! She's a great speaker, too!
You are right for weeping. Enjoy the movie.
