I just finished my 20th book of 2009: Ted Kennedy's memoir. It was pretty long but I really enjoyed it. It was very insightful to read about the past such as the 60's and hear what it was like for him to work with Jack & Bobby in politics.
He really fought very hard for healthcare ever since the 70's and social programs. He was also one of the first politicians to stand up for gay rights in the 70's. That was pretty much unheard of. As the youngest from a huge family, he became one of the most successful siblings.
To get an insight into the Kennedy family, the Senate, and Ted's life, check out this book. I recommend it.
My goal for 2010 is to read 25 books.
