I just re-read this posting. Glad I did so. I didn’t know you & I got into the Great Books around the same period. You beat me by a few years, but I’m getting close to two decades myself as well.

Honestly, I thought you introduced me to the GB! You told me about Mortimer Adler and “How to Read a Book.” That’s what did it for me. 😊

I also love Adler’s essays against the educational establishment. He can be brutal with the truth about teacher colleges.

I love how amateurs and laymen are rescuing the great works of western civ from academics who are driven by every idea other than authorial intent. Keep up the good work.

I think this was how they were meant to be read anyway--with gratitude and delight.
