I finished reading The Great Gatsby a couple days ago. I hadn’t read it since high school. WOW. I liked the book then, but, even though I had a good teacher, I missed so much of it. It’s a sobering read, to be sure. I read it with my high school senior. Highly recommended! We had some great discussions.

Want to fall in love with Plutarch? Coming up very soon in the Scholé Sisters Sistership Premier is Plutarch for Mommies!
We had a number of requests regarding Plutarch and decided that the best way to learn to love him is to read him together. 
So that’s what we’ll be doing. I’m recording audio files for it. If you find him difficult to read, I highly recommend following along in the book while listening. I’m really looking forward to our discussions! It’s going to be fun.
Not a Sistership Premier member, but want to join in the fun? Just click here!

- Still Chilling Twenty Years Later: “Death by Government” from The Imaginative Conservative
- I haven’t read the book, but I have been reading Paul Johnson’s Modern Times lately and it feels like this could be the title for the chapter covering Lenin and Stalin. It’s incredibly disturbing.
