Give me a book that you think
James madison would read
or
Alexander Hamilton would read
This is for a fic. I need books and my book taste is not good enough.
Btw please specify which guy would read the book
Hi! Ik it's too late for the fic but here are a couple thoughts I had :3
The Odyssey! This was the first book that popped into my head, mainly because of hamalicious-soup's amrev odyssey lol. But I also think it's def a book he would read, because it's Ancient Greek, and part of the literary canon (a classic :))
I don't remember if this was historical fact, speculation, or just someone's headcanon, but I read somewhere once that Alex and John would share references to Greek mythology that they'd read and AHH I love that smmm
Antigone- one of the few Ancient Greek plays I've read, and it's about an underdog fighting the powers that be, so pretty much right up his alley (part of the Oedipus Rec trilogy, which is a rlly cool story if you like Greek mythology hehe)
Just the classics and literary canon books in general, since they'd be held in high regard and he would probably want to prove how smart he is by reading them lol
Oh Shakespeare FOR SURE he'd be a pretentious little bitch about it (affectionate) and it's musical canon that he read Macbeth, which also makes tons of sense because he could def relate to the character)
Non fiction in general too, like I can totally see him constantly going down internet rabbit holes if he lived in modern times ><
I can also see him getting super into a fiction novel, like SUPER into it. But scoffing at it at first, like "why would I read that silly story book it's a waste of my time" but then someone (cough laurens) convinces him to read it and he gets INTO it and can't put it down
ACTUALLY HOLD ON I think that might work WAY better the other way around, like Hamilton's always loved to read and he *finally* convinced Laurens to read one of his favourite books, and Laurens is skeptical but then gets OBSESSED (off topic lol sorry) (also maybe they both just loved to read idk man)
Ok so unfortunately I know next to nothing about the dude other than the joke that he was always sick
Soo not the best person to ask ;-;
But I can totally imagine him curled up in a big cozy armchair engrossed in a fiction novel
Which one? I would have NO clue
