Information

This group aims to foster a rousing exchange of ideas around the topics we all enjoy by reading through a book over a reasonable time-period (busy teachers, don't be put off!) and responding to wide-open discussion prompts from rotating sponsors.

Katrina Combs is leading our second book discussion. Find out more details here and follow others in a summer read through Plato's Republic.

Our first book discussion was Norms and Nobility by David Hicks, one of the top 100 books on Classical Christian Education.

We'd love to hear your ideas for what to read next. So far, members have suggested Crime and Punishment, The Abolition of Man and St. Augustine. So settle down by the fire, grab your book and your laptop, and tell us what you're thinking. Our conversation won't be the same without you.

Comment by Jesse Hake on February 14, 2012 at 4:20pm: For anyone following this first book discussion, please note that the author, David Hicks, will be speaking at the 2012 Conference for the Circe Institute (July 18-21 in Louisville, KY).

Comment by Martin C Keast on January 18, 2012 at 1:12am: thanks for doing this as a start. I have found Hicks' book hugely challenging and informative of the reasons why classical education fits so well as education for Christian young people. Looking forward to the discussion.

Comment by Jesse Hake on January 17, 2012 at 11:39pm: Looking forward to this and so glad for all those planning to read and share together. Thank you, Ty!

Comment by William Stutzman on January 17, 2012 at 11:15pm: Thanks for setting this up, Ty. Your timing couldn't be better. I've just finished Chapter 1 myself, as I mentioned earlier today. I'm looking forward to some great thoughts.

Comment by Christopher Perrin on January 15, 2012 at 11:56pm: Ty, I think this posted schedule is the ticket... thanks much.

Comment by Ty Rallens on January 14, 2012 at 1:23pm: I've added a "Current Work" section that shows a timeline for readings. We should see how it goes and modify it if needed.

Comment by Christopher Perrin on January 14, 2012 at 10:06am: Ty--Excellent start. We should invite folks both on and off the site to join the discussion. Should we suggest a rough timeline for discussion purposes--or just let it progress organically?
