I'm all for teaching the greats in high school and college, but sometimes I think I was far too young to fully appreciate them.J.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02806805528636359436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-48652468813605014212009-06-02T21:00:23.416-07:002009-06-02T21:00:23.416-07:00reading "Babylon Revisited" in college m...reading "Babylon Revisited" in college made me wish I was an expat writer in Paris in the 1920's.
