My Course Reading List -- Great Books

📖 If you want to know more about our Great Books program at St. Thomas check out this link: www.stu.ca/greatbooks/
💡 One other thing I should mention about our program: our Great Books courses are team taught! The texts I've covered here only cover half the material we're studying this term. In the same course my colleague Dr. Rodger Wilkie has been or will be leading discussions on The Epic of Gilgamesh, Mengzi, and Lancelot by Crétien de Troyes.
📕 Alice Munro recommendations? The first Munro collection I ever read was The Progress of Love, which remains a favourite of mine. Penguin put out a collection called Family Furnishings about 10 years ago, which contains some of her very best stories.

Awesome editing sir love it. Thank you for sharing

[@GreatBooksProf]

Thanks, Dino!

Sounds like a great semester! No doubt will think about this the next time I pick up Munro.

[@GreatBooksProf]

Munro is amazing. I'm teaching her work in two different classes this fall.

The title of this video made me think that there was going to be a reading list of great books that I could look at. Where is the reading list?

[@bomanson]

I think I'm going to look into Munro next year. Is she write like Maupassant?

[@xMo29]

Hell ya a fellow Canadian

[@natashaelaine972]

Alice Munro recommendations please. Great course btw

[@GreatBooksProf]

I noted some in the description. The Progress of Love is the first collection of her stories that I ever read. But Penguin collected some of her stories into a collection called Family Furnishing a while back and that looks, to me, like a good one too.

How come noone reads Don Quixote anymore, considered by readers and scholars to be the greatest novel ever written.
