Literary Locale: The Time I Met David McCullough






Okay, so I almost met David McCullough. For those of you not in the know, this is David McCullough:


He's a historian that writes fabulous books. My favorite is probably Truman.

So how did I almost get to meet this great author? Well, my husband is an architect and a couple weeks ago, there was a huge architecture convention right here in DC. My husband told me that Mr. McCullough was going to be speaking so, of course, I invited myself to go see him speak! I braved architects He gave a great speech and afterwards, he was signing copies of his books (the ones that had something to do with architecture). The line was huge!

We waited for about a half-hour and we knew that Mr. McCullough only had a certain amount of time. We kept checking our watches and watched as the magic minute drew closer. And unfortunately, he stopped signing books about 5 people before we got to the front of the line. So close!!!! I was so sad!

Next time, Mr. McCullough, next time!

Where are you reading this week?

    1. It was awesome. He mostly talked about his latest book and some of the architecture in it. It's set in Paris. After hearing him talk about it, I was so ready to hop on a plane!

Hi! Welcome to A Bookish Affair. If you leave a comment, I will try to either reply here or on your site!

As of 6/6/2011, this book is now an awards free zone. While I appreciate the awards, I would rather stick to reviewing more great books for you than trying to fill the requirements.
