A great book

A wonderful novel about fundamental truths of life in the young man coming of age. I highly recommend this book.

Benjamin Franklin's thoughts on important matters

I found the advice given to be good at any time. Advice to a friend wanting to know things to consider in selecting a wife and keeping a good relationship through out the marriage to ring true no matter when read. With many other bits of wisdom given I find this book very enjoyable.
