A Guide for the Road

This blog is committed to the continual grazing in the green, green fields of these classic works. But we'd be lying to claim we came to this conviction on our own. We have come to the classics by invitation alone and have been so pleasantly surprised by all there is to see and explore in them, we wanted to create an environment to share our gleanings.

An Invitation to the Classics: A Guide to Books You've Always Wanted to Read has been a breath of fresh air in a world of literary smog. I don't know why our formal educations never instilled such curiosity and desire to dive into the greatest books ever written. Perhaps, our ignorant youths were to blame, but whatever the reason, we are glad to be enlightened now. Invitation to the Classics is a book that explores the "masterworks" and the individuals who wrote them. The combilnation of biography and synopsis is a great introduction and means of drawing us in.

We are excited to stir up conversations around dinner tables and in coffee shops across the country. If just one person gets turned on to a timeless book, our blog has served its purpose well. Look for honest reflections from a broad range of academic and vocational backgrounds. We are not experts on literature per se, but are interested in living well, thinking good thoughts and placing proper affections. May our words be helpful and enjoyable and extend the invitation on to you as well.
