The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (Theodore Roosevelt, #1)
Edmund Morris · ★★★★★ · 816 pages · 1979
If you feel depressed about how little you have achieved in your life reading this biography won't make it any better. The amount of things that Roosevelt did before he even became president is immense. From writing multiple books, being a colonel, governor, cattle rancher, etc., etc. the list goes on.
The book itself is a bit dense and tiresome to read at times but it gives a pretty balanced view of Roosevelt's life and I hope to read the next book at some point.
