My first pick, for the first president, is His Excellency: George Washington, by Joseph J. Ellis. This is one of those books I should have read already, as I borrowed it from my parents last year. But I also borrowed several other books at the same time, and this was one I returned this year unread. But it stayed on my "to read" list and I knew my library had a copy. So it seemed like a logical first pick.
I have read Ellis before, namely the Pulitzer Prize winning Founding Brothers. I enjoyed the stories he chose to tell and the way he told them. I am interested to see how his style translates into a book length biography.
