"Gumption" by Nick Offerman

My friend who lent me this book warned me it was a somewhat verbose tribute to several of the author's heroes. That is quite accurate. Whereas I hoped to gain insights into American icons I felt more of a voyeur in the author's love affairs with the respective accomplishments of each subject. The author may very well have been striving for precisely that. Having read a number of presidential biographies and historically accurate takes on important moments in our nation's past (i.e. "team of rivals") I desired more flesh and less fellatio. Nick Offerman is someone I truly admire. I will still pick up another tome by him, I was just unfulfilled by this one.
