Description

The listing, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BIOGRAPHY - (For Young Readers) has ended.

Paperback – 128 pages – like new - Enjoyable quick reading. Filled with archival photographs and amazing fact boxes, tells the story of the famous statesman's remarkable life, from his early childhood upbringing through his scientific experiments and politically active years. I enjoyed reading how despite his hardships: No money, or titles, plus family conflicts, he still believed enough in himself to explored his options and venture to become the beloved, down to earth man loved by almost everyone he met. Franklin was a realistic & fair negotiator, he understood both sides of the problems that each nation faced during his period of history. He was a visionary scientist who wanted nothing more than to see and live in the future, so that he could marvel at all the wonderful inventions it would hold. This book really captured my heart and now whenever I look at life in 2015, I think “What would Franklin think if he saw what I am looking at now? Book intended for youth, so they left out most of the controversial stuff, but I’m making a second trip to Philly now to research Franklin on my own.…. and won’t just focus on all those bakery shops …lol.

I figured out that audiobooks at bedtime allow me, at least, to finish three times as many books easily. His autobiography audiobook is on youtube, so you can listen to it for free. I'm not really sure about anything fairly recent. I heard Malcolm X is a must. I've really just been listening/reading a lot of philosophy as of late.

Thanks, I'll do that. I love biographies and have been wanting to check out "Malcolm X' but got side tracked by these two: If your really looking to be blown away by theories, check out "DNA of Christ' and this other book, "Slaves of the Gods". Got me thinking for weeks now about a lot of stuff ... :)

Awesome! Glad I'm not the only listian that aspires to knowledge and virtue. I'm about to start chapter 9 of his autobiography.

Great! Wanted to read that one for myself, but there are so many writers and books out there that I don't know which "Autobio" to get ... Got any suggestions? Want one that is fairly easy to read in Modern Day American not "Old English"
