Barack Obama's book:Dreams of My Father

I am in the midst of reading Obama's book & find myself reminiscing about my own father.
I lost my father in '92, just after joining the Navy & 2 weeks after going overseas.
Barack's book is intriguing as he delves into the lives of his family members & how he is drawn into the direction that fills his path with the obstacles which make him into the man his is today.
I have never read a book that caused me to consider my own paths while reading of the author's.
It is a very interesting journey; one we all should venture through again & appraise our misgivings & accept our faults.
