Holly says….
This is a wonderfully inspiring Read. It’s a small book packed with great insights into virtuous living. His curiosity and observation of the world around him lead him to live an amazingly full life in which he accomplished much for the good of mankind. All this combined with his wit and writing style make it enjoyable to read and truly encourages the reader towards self improvement. I’m actually reading it again right now. It’s great for new year’s resolutions.

There are any number of reasons to read Ben Franklin’s autobiography.
For the fetching language and wit. As when he deviated from his vegetarianism to eat some fish that “smelt admirably well,” saying, “If you eat one another, I don’t see why we mayn’t eat you…So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do.”
This is an autobiography from a man who was very famous for his diplomacy.I am sure we all can learn something from him.Go get a copy of this book.
