5 Things I Learned Reading: The Year Of Our Lord 1943, By: Alan Jacobs

Here are 5 things I learned reading: The Year Of Our Lord 1943, By: Alan Jacobs (Amazon).

1. Indirect communication often trumps direct.

2. Christian Humanism is mostly about education.

3. Literary education should be the crux of school – until about 18.

4. Sociologist Eugene Kulischer first coined the term displaced person.

5. The arbitrary realities of nature make ethics an impossible result of naturalism.

5 Things I Learned Reading: 300 Arguments, By: Sarah Manguso

5 Things I Learned Reading: 300 Arguments, By: Sarah Manguso

Here are 5 things I learned reading: 300 Arguments, By: Sarah Manguso (Amazon).

1. That emotion you are wrestling with. Take comfort in it. Billions have felt like that too. You are not alone. (You never were.)

2. A “scrittore” is a writer. Or “scrittora” if you want to be weird about it.

3. This is the best I can do – right now. And that is ok. Keep going. For art is a verb.

4. I thought about it – and I spend MUCH less time driving after midnight than I once did.

5. More people should let me interview them. Right? I mean, what harm could there be.
