Blog, then bath, then band.
Quick review on this week's readings:
Oct 7 The Journal of John Woolman: 3/5 There is no ethical consumption under slavery.
Oct 8 Joseph Andrews by John Fielding: 1/5 Genre=Law
Oct 9 Latin Hymns: 2/5 This is one of the ones that exists at the weird intersection of "fair to include in T5FSOB" and also "Possibly the world would be a better place if most of them didn't exist."
Oct 10 Don Quixote by Cervantes: 2/5 Digression!
Oct 11 The Aeneid by Virgil: 3/5 Still waiting on USS Babadook.
Oct 12 A Letter of Columbus: 3/5 The flag thing still amuses me.
Oct 13 Meditations by Aurelius: 3/5 I appreciate MA recognizing everyone who helped him along the way.
Average: 2.42 There were a lot of somewhat awkwardly amusing things in here this week.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
Definitely a big week for things that weren't necessarily great, but worth reading. The hymns are mostly bad, but historically significant. The Meditations excerpt wasn't as interesting as some of the others, but it's cool to see this historical powerhouse being so humble.
