This week we talk The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, Nic talks history and Mike talks literature, we both leave happy.

The Hobbit or There and Back Again by J. R. R. Tolkien

Dr. Nic Hoffmann, Mike Burns, and Mike Carroll are teachers at the Marist School teaching the American Experiment Class. In an attempt to update our curriculum, we have been reassessing the books we assign, we were assigned in high school and college, and the books we wish we assigned. Do people even read anymore? I mean, we do, but how do we keep the student engaged with the Required Reading.
