A little "light" reading for anyone who wants to dust off a few of the classics. I just gave up collecting. But there's a bunch more free titles available at the bottom of most of these landing pages. Tons more for $0.49-$0.99 if you really wanted to go crazy.

But the point is that it's utterly shocking how the canon has already been completely replaced in the California classroom. Probably elsewhere to a lesser degree.

If my mother never gave me another thing, she gave me a love of books. A truly great gift that never stops giving either to me or the people who I infect. And I make it a point to be as contagious as I can be at all times.
Anyone who wants to do civilization a favor might do worse than to share a classic book with a youngster or two.

The whole thing really applies to this deal, but I'll quote my last line because it, in particular, applies to this deal:
"Education is like a field of gold nuggets. Anyone with the slightest disposition to do so can walk out in that field and start filling his pockets with as much gold as he can carry."
My attitude is that you are in charge of your life (and raising your kids). Experts and "experts" are there to advise you and help you, but they all work "under" you in the sense that you're still the boss. You're still in charge of what you do, and you're still in charge of your own education and you're in charge of educating your kids. Those kids start out with a little responsibility for educating themselves, and it slowly grows to all responsibility.
