Traits that make me more likely to be interested in a president's story:
Did not want to be president
Career path before the presidency was something other than becoming a lawyer and going into politics
Faithful to his wife (bare minimum), has a good relationship with his wife (gets them many points on the favorites list)
Personally a nice, humble, otherwise good guy
Did something interesting after leaving the presidency
It's not a foolproof list, but most of my favorites do hit most of these points.
#most of the points on this list apply to taylor and grant and taft and hoover#and a lot of them apply to truman which is making me like him despite other misgivings (a-bomb chief among them)#lincoln hits fewer points than most despite being the most interesting to me#johnson has the non-lawyer and unexpectedly president path but he's still one of the ones i most despise#presidential talk#history is awesome
