From
Diane: This biography of First Lady Abigail Adams was based mostly
on the letters between her and her husband John Adams. A great look
at the birth of a nation through the eyes of the opposite sex.

From
Casey: "Franklin has always intrigued me as the architect of
the beginning of our independence as a country. Having just read
this excellent biography I'm even more intrigued and startled at
the brilliance of his mind and abilities."
The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin by H.
W. Brands |

It's
the story of the tragedy of the whaleship Essex, which was the ship
that Herman Mellvile bases Moby Dick on. Having acted in a production
of Moby Dick Rehearsed and having visted Nantucket, I have become
fascinated with whaling and the courage it took to be a whaler.
This book is an exciting, frightening true tale of an attack of
a bull whale on a whaling ship leaving the surviving crew stranded
in open boats for months and the toll it takes on the rest of their
lives.

From

and I constantly come back to it for inspiration and direction.
Do yourself a favor. Get it."

Casey's
comments:" 'He who has a why to live for can bear with almost
any how,' Victor Frankl writes in this life-altering treatise on
man's search for meaning. In needing to try to understand what is
transpiring in the world today, I sought out this book, having read
it in the past, and was once again inspired by our ability to transcend
and say yes to life."
Man's Search for Meaning: By Viktor E. Frankl |

A
terrific book that I've had for years, and that I go back to often.
In the light of recent events I've started to read it again. It
is a very readable and informative account of the actual history
of the concept of God in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. I wanted
to be more familiar with the concept of Islam so I read it again
and was struck with how diverse and changeable our idea of God is
over the ages

From
Diane: An amazing compilation. The author scaled works far
and wide, bringing together excerpts from mythology, religion, psychology,
essays, music, poetry, literature, and anything else that offers
a perspective on the human soul.
