He is a bit of an extremist but has some very intriguing perspectives and thought-provoking ideas about life, the world, and society. He even offers an opposing view to that of this article:  "Practically, the old have no very important advice to give the young, their own experience has been so partial, and their lives have been such miserable failures, for private reasons, as they must believe; and it may be that they have some faith left which belies that experience, and they are only less young than they were."

In fact, I find the VAST majority of most books published in the United States since 1975 a waste of TIME and MONEY (except for FACTS ON FILE books, some Reader's Digests books, Joseph Kane's books, etc.). In fact, I found that after reading a lot of older non-fiction books, I feel like TV (even educational shows such as NOVA) is a WASTE of time because they contain false information due to lack of research skills!

There is a new book out about how to home-school your child in the classical tradition, The Well -Trained Mind. (My toolbar has disappered.) The book contains an extensive reading list, which might come in handy for those of us who have gaps in our reading-repertoire.Everything has its particular place. Old books cannot give you the weather forecast or teach you to write a javascript. But what they will teach you is how to live. They will teach you what it means to be human. They will give you a firm place to stand against the assault of constant change. The wisdom of the greatest human minds passed down through centuries is our most reliable asset. Great stuff.
