You Will Never be Alone with a Poet in your Pocket!

I'm currently reading John Adams, a perfectly intriguing book about our famous president. It says that he loves Shakespeare, along with his wife Abigail! "But in his need to fathom the "labyrinth" of human nature, as he said, he was drawn to Shakespeare, and Swift, and was likely to carry... a volume of English poetry with him on his journeys. "You will never be alone with a poet in your pocket," he would tell his son Johnny." (Page 19)

If you noticed, there was not only Shakespeare in there, but also references made to English poetry, and Swift. This is a great book that will transport you to many different places besides the history of our president, John Adams.
