Most Read This Week In Humanities

[close] This group will focus on literature and books concerning history, philosophy, psychology, natural and social science, religion and spirituality, and the arts published at least 50 years ago, the theory being: first, that the long-term reputation of a book is a more reliable filter to sort wheat from chaff than contemporary reviews or sales; second, that the books we read will address enduring themes and raise enduring questions; and, third, that judgment and taste should be seasoned by history and familiarity with the best writing and ideas of the past.

[close] This is our group where we will share reviews of books we have read during this grade 8 year, with both classes combined. It will also serve as an independent book reading task starting Semester 2. The purpose of this task is to provide a place to share what books you loved (and what books you might not have loved) in a mature and responsible way.
