Um, American Pageant is certainly not the required text. In fact, it's probably not even the best one. However, anyone who thinks that it's the "most boring book ever" has obviously NOT been paying attention. I couldn't have asked for a more entertaining textbook. Where else could I have learned which of our former presidents went skinny-dipping in the Potomac? Where else would I have read the sentence, "It had struck sex o'clock in America"? NOWHERE, my friends. I may not have learned anything from it, but o! my fine days with The American Pageant at my side were some of the best in my life.
