I love reading about our presidents! I am kind of at an impasse with what I should read next when it comes to presidential biographies. Any ideas?

I'm a presidential buff. My favorite one is JFK, but that's just me. What are you looking for? I mean I could tell you a lot if you told me what you wanted to learn.

Presidential buff here, as well. I could name them in chronological order starting at age five.
And my favorite is JFK.
The presidents were my most intense interest I've ever had.
I'm here for any help.

Wikipedia pages are always a good start. I'm sure I would've started with the Wikipedia article, if Wikipedia had existed. :P

It is speculated Thomas Jefferson was on the autism spectrum.

Don't bother reading Obama's. It would be very short and the data is unverifiable. :P

Obama's Hawaii birth certificate is kosher. Obama was born in Hawaii because he wanted to be close to his mother.
