Me too Lou, I gobble up those books like manna from heaven, little play on words there I hoped you might relate to.
Abraham Lincoln, old honest Abe, poor man if his depression didn't exist we'd have to invent it. Or maybe we did, who knows? But this dude's got me out of more rejecting situations I can count. How useful if unfair it is to invoke a cultural hero to justify one's existence, but hey, whatever works, right?
I'm sorry to say I only read one book on Abe Lincoln, the Gore Vidal biography, and Gore being Gore it was epically unflattering. I just refused to believe it, though I'm sure it's as true as anything else. Have you a more sympathetic book on Lincoln you could recommend? I'd like to learn something about those problems w/women you alluded to in an earlier post.
Who else have you read about for strength and validation?trouble
