I have seen some crazy documentaries about conspiracy theories related to how the Bush family is responsible for not only JFK's assassination, but also the death of JFK Jr. Not sure if they are still on Netflix, or if we even have access to all the same content, but it was wild. I also read a book within the last year about if Kennedy had lived, what his second term would have looked like, so there's that material too. Even now, I think we are so enthralled by the Kennedys because they were the only 'royalty' we've had (since George III of course).Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-24189167864989403832018-05-28T11:47:37.851-05:002018-05-28T11:47:37.851-05:0016 thousand is still a LOT of pages!

There's so much around him as well as about him that the field is probably enormous - especially taking into account the assassination and all the theories about it.CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-67810731790697582512018-05-28T10:10:43.010-05:002018-05-28T10:10:43.010-05:00AND I found sources saying that more books have ac...AND I found sources saying that more books have actually been written about Kennedy.

After looking around I found more accurate numbers that ONLY include actual books.

I will go back into my post and edit those remarks. I did more digging and found that book-wise, there are about 16,000 books specifically. This article was pretty neat:<br /><br />https://www.npr.org/2012/02/20/147062501/forget-lincoln-logs-a-tower-of-books-to-honor-abeSarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-39418800610399041942018-05-28T06:55:08.569-05:002018-05-28T06:55:08.569-05:00I had no idea that there were so many books about ...I had no idea that there were so many books about him...that's amazing!

Not that I'm planning on reading anything about him but presumably there are 10-20 books considered to be *the* books to read on him?CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.com
