That’s good news. I’m not a true sci-fi addict, but that one really made an impression on me. I wonder how the freshmen react to it.

Dear livius,

“That’s good news. I’m not a true sci-fi addict, but that one really made an impression on me.”

I only recently read the book in the past year. My older son, who is 13, read the book at the suggestion of the professor. After he read it, I read it, too.

“I wonder how the freshmen react to it.”

I'm not sure. The professor provides a roughly 30-page handout to explain to students a lot of the Latin and old prayers in the book, as well as some of the other obscure stuff. My sense is that his students pretty much just take it as one more assignment to get through. Comparing the reaction of my own son to what the professor apparently gets from his college students, my sense is that the impact on his college students may be a little underwhelming.
