The Thoreau Circle Classic Book Group

Thoroughly enjoyed helping out in the newly formed classic book group on the North Shore. We are on Tom Sawyer and each boy and girl had much to contribute. It revived my spirit that these kids still largely retained a Tom Sawyer boyhood and a Becky Thatcher girlhood (many were homeschooled and from church going families). And how wonderful it is how the classics can cut through our cataracted consciences and help us comprehend truth (for all truth is God's truth), convey to our callassed hearts a truly sympathetic caratas, and as reader to realize our position as subservient to the book's author, and, even more so, by implication, how we must under-stand the Author and His story with us as the characters of the chapter he is now writing.
