smfmommy Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I found this cool new ebook on Kindle. The Harvard Classics in a Year: A Liberal Education in 365 Days It covers a 10 minute reading from the Harvard Classics each day of the year. You're not going to read all 52 volumes, just snippets, but it a convenient way to get in some higher reading each day. Depending on how the year goes I may add it to my high schoolers book list. I have looked at the first four days and they have a piece from Benjamin Franklins Autobiography, poetry, Cicero, and a Grimm fairy tale. So it seems like it will be a nice variety from day to day. I don't know the author, just thought I would share a resource for others who might want to broaden their reading but don't know where to start. The book is only $1.59 right now.

VaKim Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks for the link. But how about that aggravating "review" that says, "I haven't read it yet, but I am sure I will enjoy it." :001_rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chava_Raizel Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a great resource. I think it would make a nice mother-daughter reading project with my high schooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yes, this is very cool. I did the Jan 1 reading this morning, and definitely plan to read it to my dd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tress Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks! For 1.59$ I would already have hit the buy button, but at 10.00$ (why is the price always higher for not-Americans? :toetap05: ) I'm waffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfmommy Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 For 1.59$ I would already have hit the buy button, but at 10.00$ (why is the price always higher for not-Americans? :toetap05: ) I'm waffling. Ouch - that is very unfair! I'll admit for $10 I would want a hard copy I could mark in. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
