Sweet Baby Jesus... I actually finished this behemoth!!! It will take me a year to decompress after this. This endeavor was more grueling than when I tried to swim across Lake Erie from Cleveland to Canada when I was 17. That damn near killed me, but it was over sooner! In the meantime, now probably could figure out how to end hunger and have world peace. Yeah, if only.

The early newspapers must have been desperate for interesting material. There is some genuinely witty stuff in here, and I find the concept of a 16-year old boy writing as a middle-aged widow to be amusing, and there are a few good observations of human nature with good suggestions for remedying societal ills, but for the most part it actually does feel like a 16-year old boy, who imagines himself to be sage and giving brilliant observations, but which mostly lack the experience of years to reall The early newspapers must have been desperate for interesting material.

Think I'm being too critical? Ask yourself whether they would be worthy of reading if Franklin hadn't written them.

Time very well spent I have read Franklin’s autobiography several times through the years. This collection of his writings does justice to this admirable soul.

Good reproduction I added this to my Kindle library, not certain of the reproduction quality. I was looking for something else so I don’t plan to start reading till I’m done reading what I was looking for. I did check the quality of the reproduction and am pleased to report, so far so good.
