Life is so good



I just finished reading the book "Life is so good," an autobiography written by George Dawson. This was one of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down, so I read it in just a few hours.

George is a black man who learns to read and write at the age of 98. He is the grandson on a slave and started working at the age of 4 and never attended school as a child. He is the hardest working, most humble man I have ever heard of. It's hard not to fall in love with him.
This is an incredible story about the life of a black boy/man in the early 1900's.

I am so glad that I came across this book, and I HIGHLY recommend you pick it up as well.
