Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Along with [b:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin|52309|The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170386832s/52309.jpg|598905], this is in my humble opinion one of the greatest autobiographies of all time. Pearls of Douglass' wisdom still resonate today, such as "Food to the indolent is poison, not sustenance." This is coming back to us in today's works like [b:In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto|315425|In Defense of Food An Eater's Manifesto|Michael Pollan|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1203535494s/315425.jpg|3100234] and [b:The End of Illness|12750840|The End of Illness|David B.
