What I'm Reading Now -- The Federalist Papers

The September selection for my 2026 Reading Challenge is The Federalist Papers.  It's a collection of 85 essays that were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, collectively making the argument for why the voters in fledgling United States should ratify the newly-drafted Constitution.  

I am still working on How to Win a Grand Prix and was lamenting that, apparently, I have gotten rid of my copy of The Federalist Papers.  Since Grand Prix is digital, I wanted something on paper.  Imagine my good luck when I was over at a friend's house and she had a copy of The Federalist (as it was known when it originally published) right there on her bookshelf!  So off I go, with my borrowed paper copy of essays in support of our federal government.

Which, to be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about on the whole right now.
