I read Treasure Island a long time ago, and I remember I thought it was great. It was a while back, so I can't remember a lot of the details.
I'll have to reread that one.Right now, I'm reading Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington. It's a really awesome autobiography that is filled with wise advice he learned from experiences in his life. A lot of the stuff he says gets you thinking. I think Booker T. Washington is probably one of my favorite people in history when it comes to being a self-starter. I think he also gets kinda overlooked, so whoever hasn't read this, this is my recommendation to you.
