Nine Decades by William Edgerly

This book is a book of interviews. My grandfather interviewed my great grandfather on the nine decades he has lived. There is a chapter for each decade. One of my favorite stories that my great grandfather told in the book was the election story. The election story was about when my great grandfather was very sad when his U.S election candidate lost. He said in his book that he thought the "world was going to be over." Now he says that he realizes that his candidate losing wasn't the end of the world. I liked that story because it shows even if things happen that you don't like, you will still be okay. I think that is a very good life lesson that I am going to keep following. In the end, I think his book was very insightful.
