recommended for: fans of American history
The very first autobiography ever written. It was customary in both ancient and up to then modern times that if you were worth writing about someone else would take up the pen. Socrates never wrote anything; it was Plato that recounted his life. Jesus did not write down a single word rather it was the Apostles who recorded his teachings. The Caesars left it to Tacitus to document their glory. Not Ben Franklin. Ben tells you how to get rich in America and make a name for yourself. Apparently Ben's autobiography has been translated into Mandarin and is selling well in the People's Republic of China this very day.
