COP DAT
I love a good biography, and I really haven’t read one as good as The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin in a while. It won the Pulitzer prize in 2004 and for good reason. The biography is completely unlike any other biography on Franklin yet. You get to see what it was like during the Revolution and how Franklin was really an old man - 20 to 50 years older than most of the founding fathers. He was actually very loyal to England all of his life and was considered more of a European than an American. He was the only founding father not to have been born rich. Cop that novel at your nearest Barnes & Snowballs, I guarantee it will titillate and delight.
