Finished a book

I have finished Gandhi's autobiography, The Story of My Experiments in Truth. The beginning or start of most things brings an enthusiasm with it and this book did that. Gandhi goes into more detail about the why's in the first parts. After his return to India, he spoke less of the why's and even less of what was happening. I guess I am disappointed about that. This is the birth of a nation and it seemed at times like a travelogue about parts of India he had never seen.
It was interesting to read about the beginnings of non-co-operation. Gandhi had to coin a new phrase as no term existed in his languages.
I am glad I read the book. I now have to find the movie to fill in some things in my mind.
