pick(1/2) In school I never cared much about American history. Who cared about a bunch of old dudes who talked funny & wore stupid wigs? Coming into Franklin‘s autobiography I was expecting tough and unrelatable. In fact, I got engaging, &, in a word, stunning. I was struck by how progressive of a thinker Franklin was. He questioned God & religion in a time when it was very unpopular to do so. He felt women deserved more rights & he detested slavery.
pickEverybody needs a fun little biography of Benjamin Franklin in their life! Let this one be yours! Even with his flaws, Franklin is one our country‘s best patriots. I wish more present day Americans had half his good sense and a quarter of his excellent humor! 🪁 ⚡️
pickThis was an interesting read. Benjamin Franklin (yes, that one) spends his free time in London solving crimes. I enjoyed this enough to read more of the series.
