Oct 26– From Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography (1791)
Summary: Ben Franklin discovers the classics (and tries writing.)
Commentary: It was fun to read about Franklin's experiences reading some of the same books that're in T5FSOB and doing typical teenager things. It was weirder to read about someone enjoying trying to learn to be a writer. Normally when you read things like this the person is miserable, hates themselves, and considers writing only slightly preferable to suicide. Ben seems to be having a good time of it though. Good for him.
