Customer Reviews
Enjoyable but ...
Enjoyable and informative. Only marred by the right wing ads, which are at odds with some of the books and discussions.
Great Books - and great presenter
Really enjoy this show. John J Miller invites experts to advocate for their Great Book.
He has the extreme talent of being mostly silent to allow his guests to demonstrate their expertise in their field. But his questions have the uncanny ability to reflect what is in the listener’s mind. The conclusions are up to you.
