The Club: Johnson, Boswell, and the Friends Who Shaped an Age by Leo DamroschMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A club that included Edward Gibbon, Adam Smith, Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, Edmund Burke, David Hume, and many other recognizable names, most of them before they were famous.
This book is more a story of Samuel Johnson and James Boswell, as well as a brief biography of some of the main founding members, without mentioning other members over the years (the club apparently still exists now). Just the final part talked of the club throughout the years).
