This Thursday, September 4 at 7-8:30 p.m. US Central Time, the Maurin Academy’s Great Books Reading Group will meet live on Zoom for our first meeting on Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. This is a classic originally published in 1985 which is all too relevant today. We are now living in the full-blast of what Postman was trying to describe and warn about back in the ’80’s. It’s a good time to reflect on what he said, in the context of what we know now. Our aim is to discuss the first two chapters of this book. Whether you have time to read it or not, you are welcome. This time around, Laurie is teaming up with David for leading what will no doubt be an interesting conversation.
If you are not already a member on the Maurin Academy’s Patreon site, now is the time to join. No matter what level you join, from $1 to $25 a month, you gain access to this monthly reading group, both live and recorded. Your support helps us in more ways than you know! We hope to see you Thursday, and we will send out a zoom link on Patreon on September 4 so you can join us!
