Love Bastiat! He is like the CS Lewis of Economics to me. He is so logical and thoughtful and "ideal" that I couldn't help but love his works. Benson's talk is really great too. It's nice to have such a great talk with a LDS theme
ReplyDeleteI haven't made up my mind about Wuthering Heights. I read it in high school and didn't love it then, but I may have missed the point entirely. :)
I can't wait to grow up and read Euclid. I have been inspired to ever since I read that Lincoln's logic was inspired by Euclid. Logic is facsinating to me.
I'm impressed you've read Les Miserables. I'm hoping to do that one this year.
Nichomachus..Intro to Arithmetic was interesting! I've never thought of math as spiritual before, and even though his spiritual roots are way different than mine it was interesting to think about. I'd recommend reading this one with someone who is willing to discuss and try to understand what he is saying. It is not light reading.
Love The Chosen. I forgot to mention on my blog that it always makes me want to play baseball too :) I read the sequel..The Promise. Not as good, not life changing, but interesting to see how their friendship and good works continue.
We should have a book group and read some!
I agree about the book group busy bee! Are there any books on my reading list that your are thinking of reading?
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about reading Nichomachus - Intro to Arithmetic - I'm glad to know it's not dry! I'll put it on my "to read" list.
