Very happy to be back in Anne’s beautiful world

This is an incredible book and slow going with so much to think through. I don’t seem to have the mental capacity to keep going for now because of a currently difficult time for my family, but I will come back to this when I can.

Fascinating

Next book with my middle school book club 🕵🏻‍♀️

The November read for my classics book club

Getting to read this for the third time and for the second time with a middle school book club. Can’t wait to hear their thoughts about the first half of the book!

The chapter on social justice is so excellent.

Outstanding!

Prereading this as a possible focus for a high school co op class I could teach next semester that would work well with my daughter’s current World Geography studies. This book “travels” to 26 other countries to learn about life there as compared to life in America. The writing is very good, readable and entertaining so far.

Reading this with my youngest daughter as she studies Africa for World Geography and World Literature. What an incredible biography already!

The “No Human is Illegal” chapter is an excellent, well balanced discussion of illegal immigration from a Biblical perspective. “Empathy, even in its best form, isn’t a sufficient determinant of right and wrong, nor is it an adequate driver of policy.”

I should have made the time to read this long ago.

The chapter on East of Eden was interesting but super disappointing since it hardly discusses East of Eden

Chapter 1 on Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, etc is phenomenal

Rereading for the next book with my middle school book club

This is an incredible book!

Sure seems providential to be reading this right now

Rereading this fabulous gothic novel with my classics book club
