How shallow do you have to be to believe that you're better than everyone else just because you have more money?

Bookwomble Donald Trump's humility has no beginning. 5y

Amiable And he inherited a large chunk to begin with. He didn‘t ever have to work hard and get his hands dirty pulling himself up by the bootstraps like most of us did. His father gave him the freaking boots. 5y

This book was adapted for a #1970s TV mini series which was essentially responsible for the career of Nick Nolte. #letstraveljuly

Even though I've read some good books lately, I feel like I've just been treading water. Life has been so complicated the past few months, so maybe now is a good time to challenge myself (just a little) and really give my brain something to do. This classic has been on my list for awhile and so far, it's pulled me right in: a good sign
