Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA printer, scientist, diplomat, and famously self-improving young tradesman writes the account of how he built himself, virtue by deliberate virtue, into one of his century’s most useful men. Franklin is disarmingly honest about his own failures at the project even while selling you on attempting it yourself. It remains one of the most quietly ambitious books in this catalogue’s memoir section.
