Instead of Going to College, I Read These Books

I recognized many titles on Mrs. Clark’s list of 153 books (July/august) but have read only a few. At age 61, I don’t have the head start a high schooler does, but I started researching each book, learning the plot, characters, themes, inspiration, and impact. I covered eight books in one weekend and expect a wonderful journey as I continue over the next two years.
