I spent my first semester in the 9th grade reading DR Zhivago, much to the detriment of my academic career.

I had read One Day In The Life when it was first serialized in “Look Magazine”. I became entranced by the Power of the language, so I became a Conservative to the soul.

In a more literate time, Solzhenitsyn would be considered a genius.

Interesting, Bill. Thx.

There used to be a place for classical education. Not anymore. Reading was never meant to stop at Dick and Jane. It was meant to affect lives, if not change them.
