Franklin biography

Finished Walter Isaacson’s biography of Benjamin Franklin (abridged and read by Boyd Gaines) on the way back. It’s very favorable — I suppose it’s hard to find bad things to say about Franklin, though Isaacson gives a chapter at the end to those who tried — though I’d like to hear what John Adams had to say about their time in France together. Next time I need a tape I’ll see if the library has a bio on him.
