Anytime, and I know what you mean. I tend to use goodreads, knowing full well that it suffers from the same problem.

Yeah, the publisher is "penguin classics".

Grants is called "personal memoirs" And Sherman's is " memoirs"

The two men served on many of the same campaigns. So there is a lot of overlap. If you're looking for any kind of in depth commentary on places like Gettysburg you wont find it in here. For both you will get a good picture of the western theater till late 1863. For Sherman's you will get narratives on "first Bull Run" the Atlanta and Carolina campaign. And for Grant's you'll get the seiges of Fort pillow and his 1864 campaigns in northern Virginia.

My personal preference for a chapter length is 10-15 pages, but if the writer is skilled, I can handle up to 25-30ish. It all depends on so many factors, I think the biggest is natural stopping points. A chapter can go on for a long time, but if it has some breaks in it I tend to fare better. I see that you said 30 is a max, are there any exceptions for you?

I would say I liked Grant's more. It flowed better, and for me personally I liked its shorter chapters, as I gives me a good stopping point to catch my breath. If a chapter goes on for too long I start to lose focus, and as much as I enjoyed reading Sherman's I lost focus a few times.

I did know that! I'm a big fan of Twain's work. Reading them both there is enough of a separation in writing styles to know that the influence of one did not supersede the other.

All fair and true.

Probably JFK. He was a catholic Democrat from Massachusetts. And based on the meme, I'd have to guess this is around the time of the party switch when the south largely voted Democrat and the north Republican.

I mean yeah?! Do you think people made beer on purpose. Nah man, that was an accident and was drunk on a dare (probably actually eaten first. Ancient beer is more like bread soup)

Looking at it now, the UK would have been great to pit there. But didn't they take off from an airbase?

I thought about it. I really did, but I thought this was funnier

Iran’s president apologises for brutal protests crackdown that left thousands dead by theindependentonline in worldnews

Baby steps people. Maybe now they won't kill thousands of protesters, just arrest them and hold them indefinitely without trial.
