Just bought Clinton's Auto-B
It looks more menacing than I thought! Just curious, is it a good enough read to keep me involved?

1. Well, I enjoyed it....
It is quite looooooong, however; I still haven't finished it.. He is quite a good writer, IMHO...

Menacing? Do you mean because of it's size? Don't let that intimidate you...Just get going, and remember, there's no requirement that you must finish it overnight!

I love a long book, because that means I'll have something good to read for a long time.

:hi:

2. He's a good story teller!
I just finished reading it two weeks ago and I read every word of it. I think you'll find his journey interesting from small town Hope, Arkansas and how he made his political connections.

A great primer for anyone thinking of running for public office, imo.

Enjoy! :-)

3. I have an autographed copy
Which I haven't even cracked, and an unautographed one that I (mostly) read. It's not quite as insightful as I wished, and can be rather indulgent, but it's pretty good reading.

4. I've just got to winning
the first presidential election.

I've been recommending this book to any and all..I think it's one of the best biographies I've ever read..I just love it! It's like sitting on your front porch listening to someone tell you their
story!

Ejoy!

5. That's awesome guys...
I bought it because of his eloquence in speaking, and how he can get a message across in such simple grammar, and style. Hope his story can do the deed of telling the story of my favorite president!
