SusanAR Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well, I read The Good Earth last week (really enjoyed it:001_smile:), Yesterday I read F.451 (uncanny), and today I am reading Out of the Silent Planet.

Denise in Florida Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I am brushing up on Art History and Cultural Anthropology because my dd15 wants to learn those next year.

Karen in CO Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I just ordered a book about women Jamestown colony. I have been reading though all of our history books and refreshing my poor little head about the colonies, now I'm reading historical fiction. My previous history topic was explorers - Over the Edge of the World about Magellen's circumnavigation was good. Â I'm also reading about the development of China and India - just finished In Spite of the Gods. Next is The Elephant and the Dragon. Â I'm also reading a book about building your own cob house.Is it obvious that my high schooler graduated?I am used to trying to keep ahead of him.

Janice H Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 But I will finish, maybe during jury duty on Monday. I don't think dd will read this one however; high schoolers usually read Crime and Punishment. In case I only had time for one Dostoevsky I went w/what most critics call his best novel.

My oldest is majoring in Spanish in college this coming year, so he should be able to help me out in my simple-little-Spanish-language-world if I need it! :D Â I know, not a huge goal, but I'm happy to finally get the chance to go with it!

Jane in NC Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Instead of messing about here, I should be finishing Moby Dick, a leviathan of a reading project, but an extremely worthwhile one. I am so glad that my son encouraged me to read this book! There are times when Melville reaches Shakespearean heights in terms of beautiful language. Â It is my good fortune to cross paths with scientists in the summer, an opportunity to learn about new research and ideas. I have learned about pain receptors, ecological modeling, new geochemical hypotheses in earth science and about microbes. Â Among the books that I have borrowed from the library is the five minute artisan bread book which received rave reviews here in WTM-land and elsewhere. I also have enjoyed Sew What Skirts which has information on pattern drafting, a neat idea on which I'd like to follow through. Â I spend less time on the computer in the summer. Perhaps I should adapt this model to the rest of the year. It is not only that I would accomplish more, but also I would spend more time on "big ideas", less time on the petty news events (news bickering?) that seems to consume so much energy. Â Thanks for this enjoyable thread. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Hi, sorry it took so long to get back to you. Cultural Anthropology studies cultures as a whole (ancient and modern). The scientists might interview or observe a culture and study the rules/structure etc. Some are of the studies I read (long ago) were of aboriginal tribes in South America or Africa, one of my favorite studies was on the m-i-l/d-i-l relationships in China. Â Some of the studies I have come across lately have included sub-cultures in the U.S. such as inner-city gangs, suburban 'gated-community' residents, or fan-culture (comic-cons, trekkie conventions). Â I picked up a few books at my local used book store but I haven't found one overall basic book yet. I am going to go to the local community college the day they buy back books, if a book has been replaced by the next edition and the college won't buy them quite a few students throw them away. :glare: I have brought home boxloads before.

jayfromcleveland Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm picking my way through Paradise Lost. Wow, this is a rough plow. The word pictures are very colorful, but it's hard to keep your mind on who is speaking, since these rambles go on and on for several pages. I tried reading Milton in the early 90s and gave up, and am now picking it up again. The book is replete with classical references, and I've read so much in the classics since the early 90s that I now appreciate it all the more. I seem to be catching more references these days than are indicated in the footnotes. Don't read Milton unless you've already read a lot in the ancient classics. I think Dante is much easier since the writing is less "dense" and the chapters (cantos) are short, maybe a page or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabusame Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) I'm working my way though Plato's Republic at the moment and enjoying it immensely (what is morality?).

Jayne J Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I just started Spenser's Faerie Queen. I have recently found myself really wanting to dive back into poetry, so I am reading the "collected works" of several poets (Wordsworth and Shelley currently, just finished Tennyson). Faerie Queen has been sitting on my shelf, sticking it's tongue out at me and double-dog-daring me to read it for nearly a year. It's do or die now.

Dante is on my list after The Odyssey. Â Everyone's different, but I read Dante a couple years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Though the whole Divine Comedy is very long, those short cantos work wonders on my short American attention span! Meanwhile, Paradise Lost is quite short, there are only 12 long chapters. If there's an edition of Milton with page headers to remind you of who is speaking (God, Satan, Raphael) it would sure help for following the story! My mind would wander and then lose the thread. have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm starting a WEM book club this year with a few other ladies. I haven't read as much as I'd like this summer, and I'm hoping that will keep me on track. I read Watership Down and Oliver Twist, and Anna Karenina came on vacation with me but has sat untouched so far. Another mom and I are discussing another book club on homeschooling theory books (Thomas Jefferson Education, The Trivium, etc.) It will be books I have read already, but it will be great to have someone to discuss them with.

I tried memorising terms from a website and couldn't absorb it (a baby, a toddler and sleep deprivation aren't helping) so I bought the set of Brian P. Cleary's grammar picture books and they've just arrived :) Hopefully they'll boost me to grade 2 level at least :D There seem to be two families of verbs, concrete and abstract. I tried looking online to find out their official terms, but got confused by lists of heaps and heaps of types.

It talks about how reading used to be oral and also continuous print with no separations between words.
