I’ve just finished Chapter 5 of The Well-Educated Mind and I am perched on the edge, ready to dive headlong into this journey of reading. I am excited by the snippets the author gives of many of the novels. I am invigorated by the understanding she provides – I might have read these books in high school if my teachers had broken reading down in this way. Had we had the time to take each novel at our own pace and had we been able to look deeply into each one.
My adventure begins with Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote. I plan to have my “Grammar Stage” reading done by the end of February (when I will also willingly join the ranks of the unemployed.)
