The Cause - Rob Pirie
Please join me in embarking on the Harvard Classics Series by Dr. Charles Elliot. This series dates back to around 1910 and is a collection of literature that I believe needs to be revived and rediscovered. I look forward to reading and discussing all 50 volumes with you as we learn about the great ideas of those who came before us. In this series, we will dive into Greek and Roman history, the American Founders, works from Francis Bacon, John Milton, and many more. We will cover Shakespeare and Chaucer and also some fictional works like Don Quixote which are all included in the Harvard Classics.
We will also review other books on this podcast that fit the classical education theme.
This series is being created for those passionate about classical education and as a supplement to homeschool curriculums. I truly hope these classical works of literature bring you as much joy as they do me.
Feel free to reach out with any questions as I would love to hear from you!

Why You Should LISTEN To Books and How To RETAIN What you Read
Listening to books can be just as impactful and important as reading books. There are so many benefits to listening to books, such as hearing the names and places pronounced correctly and the convenience of consuming books while completing other tasks. Audiobooks also allow you to remember the narration and the sound of the characters to stick out in your mind more. If you read and listen to a book, you will have a deeper understanding of the book than you would have by just doing one or the other. You retain what you read much better. I truly hope you enjoy this video and listen to some books!
