“Read along with me in your book”

“When it’s time to turn the page, you will hear the chimes ring like this {insert chime noise}. Now let’s begin…”

Flashbook from childhood audio books on a Fisher-Price record player has ended now.

Per Neyir’s comment below, I thought I’d try to find the books we’ll be reading in my American Lit tutorial online if you’re interested in reading along, or just getting a taste of each book by reading a few pages (as you all are very busy people and not full-time students like myself).

1st week of October — Franklin Autobiography, available here and Edwards, “A Personal Narrative”, available here
2nd week — Brown, Wieland, available here.
3rd week — landscape and the sublime, Burke’s Enquiry available here
4th week — Wordsworth and America, WW’s “Prelude” availabe here

1st week of November — Susanna Rowson, Charlotte Temple, available here and Mary Shelley Frankenstein, available here
2nd week — J. Hector St John de Crevcoeur, Letters from an American Farmer, availabe here
3rd week — Henry David Thoreau, Walden, available here

    This looks like fun! I don’t have time to read them now, but I will be envying you as you read them.

    BTW, I like your recommendations and current prayer requests.
