Have you noticed that even though there are many, many more channels than we we were kids (we being those of us who were kids in the 70’s and 80’s) that there really doesn’t seem to be any great increase in the amount of worthy programming? I have at my disposal roughly 200 channels of which I watch about eight with anything close to regularity. (History, Discovery, ESPN. ESPN2, MLB Network, Nickelodeon, TV Land, and FX.)

While certainly not the caliber of his father Michael’s The Killer Angels, this sequel and picks up right after the battle of Gettysburg is similar in style and very readable.
I’m only about 1/4 of the way through it (it’s been a busy week), but I’m looking forward to finishing it.

695,000,000 results. That’s six-hundred, ninety-five MILLION, for those of you confused by all those zeros and commas.
