Parallel Lives by Plutarch

One of my all time favorite thrift stores was a 54 book set of the works of, you guessed it, the Western Heritage. After reading the 9th grade summer assignment submissions, and just going over the great Greek heroes of Leonidas, Themistocles, and Pericles, I've decided to try and make Plutarch's whole work my next reading project! I'm only on the first comparison now, between the mythical founders of Theseus and Romulus, and it's incredibly well written and honestly a fun read if you're a nerd like me!

I am a 2019 graduate of Hillsdale College with a major in economics. I am very blessed and excited to be a part of the Ben Franklin community! Academically speaking I am passionate about how societies in general and our country in particular operate and become prosperous, while hobby-wise I enjoy ballroom dancing, whittling, trap shooting, and the occasional video-game like Civilization (History related of course!). History and storytelling have also always played a big part in my family, and in fact, I come from a long line of history teachers! What inspires me the most is the pursuit of Truth as a participation of our humanity, and for this reason I greatly look forward with working you all and am honored to a part of your journeys!
