Jefferson was an avid reader. When he shared a room with Adams in France Adams complains in a letter to his wife that Jefferson was buying books and there were stacks of books in their rooms. Jefferson took over 2,000 books back with him when he went home. He also was an inventor and invented several things still used today. He cataloged all the plants in Virginia and drew pictures of them. His home Monticello has a museum in the entrance hall of items he collected. He also wrote about government and how it should be conducted as well as ran a plantation. Besides all, of this he was, president and the father of 6 children by his slave Sally Hemming. He was also the designer of his house. All of this, for Jefferson, was his entertainment, his life, his interests, and his passions. We have the idea today that entertainment comes from outside ourselves, but in reality we can be like Jefferson and create our own.
