I liked Moby Dick a lot, but it isn't one I run around recommending to people. It can be a snoozer.<BR/><BR/>LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-18038298808407389872009-02-12T21:58:00.000-06:002009-02-12T21:58:00.000-06:00I haven't read any of those except Ulysses (I ...I haven't read any of those except Ulysses (I think).

I've have learned so much interesting stuff from the courses I've listened to. One of my favorites was The History of Ancient Egypt. The professor was Bob Brier, the first person to make a mummy in modern times using actual ancient techinques. National Geographic did a story on it called "Mr. Mummy."<BR/><BR/>LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-50022206616213452092009-02-11T18:31:00.000-06:002009-02-11T18:31:00.000-06:00I would love to try one of their lecture series. ...I would love to try one of their lecture series.
