Franklin is my #1 hero in US History. A genius who, unlike most geniuses, was practical, wise, and understood human relations better than almost anyone.
The list of his accomplishments is staggering. And he ALWAYS had a terrific sense of humor .
I enjoy reading the biographies of important Americans,when I got to Franklin, I picked up Walter Isaacson's- BF An American Life.It is really dry and a slow read. Could you recommend a better book?
