We’re gving serious consideration to doing the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers together, interleaved, in strict chronological order, so as to follow the debate over the Constitution. I’m looking at reformatting each paper in Structured English, which uses indentation and line separation to take long sentences apart and make them more readable for the modern reader. Then we would follow each paper with commentary.

That sounds terrific. I have long hungered for that, but have not had the discipline to read them myself.

Me being a high school drop out and all seriously left me ill prepared for my first college course in English as well as the other subjects.

I managed to get my act together after a few months of working in a shoe warehouse.

In my English1 course, a few “auditors” showed up one day and though not disruptive, certainly opened up my awareness to what I suppose can only be referred to as “critical” analysis with their challenging insights to the particular work that we were exploring at that time.

I have been a fan of the interpretation of literature ever since.

You two have been quite appreciated from here since these threads began several months ago. Thanks for that.

I read Atlas a couple of years ago. I think that I got it, but your insights have been most helpful to me since this series started.

I suspect that you two have a history together involving academics. Cannot tell for sure, but you certainly have raised yourselves in my estimation after this work.

You make me want to post less and not appear as ignorant as I actually am.

I don't think anyone could make a serious argument that the Anti-Federalists were right on every single point they made and more.

Thanks for all the work. I may not have posted on many of these threads, but I've read every single one.

Whether one loves or hates Rand and her philosophy, one cannot argue that she was indeed prophetic and that we are going to pay a very bloody price for not paying more attention to her from that standpoint.

Federalist Papers...

I like that idea, a lot. Second choice would be a contemporary work such as The 5,000 Year Leap.

Whatever comes next, I must again express my appreciation for the FR Book Club series. It has made much better what would have been a tedious read.
