Story
Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us - an ambitious urban entrepreneur who rose up the social ladder, from leather-aproned shopkeeper to dining with kings. In best-selling author Walter Isaacson's vivid and witty full-scale biography, we discover why Franklin turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind his new-fangled spectacles. In Benjamin Franklin, Isaacson shows how Franklin defines both his own time and ours. The most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself.

Bookends with Elon Musk

It’s a well written book ably performed. I would suggest reading it along with Isaacson’s Elon Musk. Must is the embodiment of modern Franklin philosophy. It was very interesting to read those two books back to back.

Story
One night in a Chicago restaurant, Michael Bamberger draws up a list of golf heroes. Nine are living legends, like Arnold and Jack. Nine are secret legends, like Dolphus "Golf Ball" Hull: a windblown tour caddie from Jackson, Mississippi. What they all share is a game that courses through their collective veins like a drug. Accompanied by a sidekick and friend, a former tour player who is a secret legend himself, Bamberger seeks to locate and get to know these luminaries.

Pretentious

Some good stories and the performer is excellent. This book is all about the “deeper meaning” and “spiritual” aspects of golf. God I hate bullshit like this. Golf is a great game and loads of fun. Why not leave it at that? I wish they would. Mr. Bamberger is a good writer when not looking at the deeper meaning of it all.

Incredible and practical advice on practicing. Getting the most out of the limited time we all have to practice. I especially like the dry erase marker advice.

Story
This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered.

Favorite Book by my Favorite Author

Unmared by any misstep. The author is a master story teller, and Lyndon Johnson is a big enough personality to bring out all of Caro’s many skills. Gardner brings out the rich language to its most dramatic. I could not recommend this more highly.
