I'm attempting to change the nature of this blog to something more than short blurbs about books. It's going to be an odds and ends of things, that will hopefully be more updated once I graduate and stop doing homework. That's not a good excuse, I know! It's pretty terrible. So, I'll start out by posting some pictures from the January Intersession trip that 10 of us from Grove City took a few weeks ago.
This was a class called "Modern Christian Writers," where we studied works by Chesterton, Lewis, Sayers, Eliot, and Charles Williams. It was the most enjoyable class I've ever taken, both because of the actual subject material and because we got to visit England! Most of us had never been there before (except for our seasoned, quintessential English professor), so it was wonderful for us all. I read some old favorites and made some new ones as well--the Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot, which seem m0re beautiful each time I read them; "The Weight of Glory" and "Learning in Wartime" by C.S. Lewis, and some of his poetry which I had never come across before; and Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers. Those were my favorite out of the works we read.
