The Education of Henry Adams

What a self/important, self-obsessed gasbag.

The book was famously passed around like samizdat for ages, but it is tedious and avoids much about the man that is interesting or important. I took me years to get round to this, but I was driven by the sense that I should really read what is said to be such an important work.

Spare yourself the effort. Life is too short.
