The Road to Character by David Brooks

Ugh. I tried to get through this for a work-related book group. I just can't. This is mean to be short biographical chapers on individials who Brooks admires for their different exemplifications of having "character". The 1st chapter (his own personal intro of what he believes character is) is scribbled with my angry notes on this guys sanctimonious, loaded language that is basically an old man screaming "no one is as good as my generation". But, I read on, hoping the biographies would reedeem this book. Sadly the bios continue to be backloaded with his clearly visible personal slant and I just couldn't continue reading. Adding this one to my "abandoned" shelf.
