Beyond the Walls Book Chat
J.R.R. Tolkien once said, "Fairy tales do not deny the existence of sorrow and failure; they give a fleeting glimpse of joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief."
This podcast is designed to take you on a journey beyond those walls to discover the joy, wisdom, and timeless lessons classic books offer. If you have a thirst for knowledge, a love for literature, and a desire to grow through the wisdom of authors long gone then this podcast is for you. Use these episodes to curate a personal reading list that enriches your mind and soul. Let's embark on a literary adventure together and find the joy that lies beyond the walls.

Beyond the Walls Book Chat
Jane Eyre: Jane vs Bertha
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We can look at the meaning of a book with one eye closed, or we can open both and look at the full story. Tonight I cover the modern method of studying a book myopically and then compare it to the more classical style of looking over the broad canvas of time and existence where we can meet the past where the past still lives.
