Banvard's Folly: Thirteen Tales of People Who Didn't Change the World by Paul Collins
5.0
What a strange and wonderful book. Each chapter is one person's story of a) extreme success, b) extreme failure, c) something in between, or d) all of the above.
It could be depressing, and at times it is, but mostly it stands testament to our ability to try and to invent and to create and to persevere.
Funny, enlightening, and highly recommended.
