Recommended June Reading
Every year about this time I try to read a biography of one of the founding fathers. This year I think it will be Walter Isaacson’s Benjamin Franklin: An American Life.
A few others that I’d recommend considering are:
- John Adams by David McCullough
- 1776 by David McCullough
- And–although not a founder–Dinesh D’Souza’s very good book Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader

I’m in the middle of Ben Franklin. Interesting bio—it’s amazing that he was basically a blogger of the day to start off and used it as his jumping off point.
Apparently I have the same Myers Brigg score as him so I wanted to see what happened with him.
Having read McCullough’s wonderful biography of John Adams and what McCullough says about Benjamin Franklin, I’m not sure I want to know any more about Franklin!
Just finished a few months ago. Good read!
