I just discovered this podcast after reading The Scarlet Letter alongside my teens who are reading it at school (so I could converse with them about it). That episode was SO helpful in helping me process my thoughts on the books as well as the big themes. I plan to make my boys listen to it also & am curious to see if they talk about those ideas during seminar discussion at school 😉 I love that it’s from a conservative, biblical worldview. Thank you for this bookclub!

I get to join book club while commuting to work. I have learned so much. Anxiously awaiting new episodes. Thank you!

Always loved Michael Knowles content! His commentary on these books made me want to read them! Keep going!!

The host brings his weird, extreme politics into it constantly.

It’s not an intellectual standpoint to critique a feminist interpretation of “A Doll House” as being political, while then using your own patriarchal and institutional-upholding interpretation of the play as… not political. As though the idea that “a father leaving his family is bad enough” but a mother leaving is completely inexcusable… is not a political stance. Of course it is. Interpret and argue over the literature as you wish, but at least do it with intellectual integrity.

Michael is so smart and articulate! His book breakdowns are so entertaining and captivating! Highly recommend!

Thank you for this captivating podcast. I’m binge listening.

I thought this was going to be a podcasts about book reviews not shallow political propaganda. Skip it if you actually want to learn something or use your brain

Love this podcast; I’m learning much more than I ever did in school!!!

I look forward to new episodes and wish they appeared more frequently. Great guests and interesting books!
