What’s the Newsletter about?

I’m doing a slow reading of The Great Books (Encyclopædia Britannica - Great Books of the Western World), about 2 pages per day / 14 pages per week. The newsletter consists of a brief summary of what I read in the past week or two and some thoughts connected to contemporary issues.

Why?

I’ve been meaning to read the books ever since I read Adler’s “How to Read A Book”. Thought I’ll read them later in my life, towards retirement. I got the book set after a friend of mine got it and that inspired me to start early. Two pages per day is not impacting anything else that I’m doing, though it is influencing what I’m thinking about during the week. I’m hoping this encourages others to think about the topics that I write about, which is mostly about leadership or societal issues.

The archives over 2 years are paywalled since I’m hosting this on the Substack platform. Message me if you need access to any of the paywalled posts. I don’t have a degree in Writing nor am I a professional writer, I’m writing to mainly keep myself accountable. I usually write in one sitting in a 30-minute or a 1-hour block when I find time. So it could appear like a first draft. I sometimes edit after I publish and read on the site. So, Substack always has the latest edit.
