The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin's autobiography offers a very interesting glimpse into the life of the man who in many ways gave birth to the United States. It was written in several disjointed parts and is incomplete, only describing his life up to 1758 (he lived until 1790), yet it offers a detailed and fascinating look into this brilliant mind. From its pages speaks a humble, brilliant man who overcame adversity to become one of the most influential men of his time.

This short book is well worth the little time it takes to read it.
