GREAT CONVERSATIONS

We have completed all the selections from Great Conversations III except for the two full length novels: Machiavelli’s: The Prince; and Charlotte Bronte’s: Jane Eyre.

Next week we will begin discussing our reading and viewing Video Lectures on, The Prince. We will spend as many as three or maybe four meetings on The Prince.

At this time we know that we have at least two Video Lectures, featuring Machiavelli, to watch. Doris and Jim Geddry may have more.

We are taking the 26th and maybe the 2nd off; so we will be finishing up this series by February ’08.

We, the group, are in discussion on what our next series will be. Some of us want to start the original five part “Great Books Series” over again. There are other good proposals too, one being: one of the Teaching Companies Lecture Series’, then another is: “Great Conversations IV”, which will not be available for several months.

I feel that with my aging memory and the fact that I felt like there were many issues left unresolved, in my mind, that a second go at the, “Great Books Series”, would reveal just as many new insights as the first run through, maybe more.

However it goes, I’m sure we will all enjoy, what ever it is!
