Patti's Homeschool Mentoring - Classic Book List. A good book - a classic - is a reading and an experience that you can return to over and over again. A classic is a well-written book that appeals to many, and stands the test of time. With the first reading and each subsequent one, you see the world through new eyes. Every author's story becomes an extension of who we are. Seeing through their eyes, we are guided into what we eventually become.

Most of the books on these lists of classical books or reads were published in the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education" by Oliver Van DeMille. The rest are some of my family's favorites. These are by no means all of the classics that are worthwhile to read! As you go through your home schooling journey your reads will lead to other books, so I suggest you keep an ongoing list of your own somewhere handy. Appendix A Appendix A is the 100 classic reads for adults. Acton, The History of Freedom John Adams, "Thoughts on Government"[1] Aquinas, "On Kingship" Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics Aristotle, Politics.

Classical Christian Education Support Loop: 1000 Good Books List. This 1000 Good Books List is by no means exhaustive.

It is a listing of the books that 25 homeschooling mothers have come up with over the course of a year’s time through discussions of criteria to use in choosing a good book, and many other discussions about individual titles to include or exclude. If you know of books that are good that are not included in this list, by all means, do not let their exclusion stop you from reading them with your children. And similarily, if a book is included on this list that you just plain don’t like for whatever reason, then don’t read it. We firmly believe in the parents right and responsibility to have the ultimate choice in choosing reading material for their children. We have posted this list as a place to start, not necessarily as a place to end; since many of us did not have the benefit of careful discrimination in our reading material in our own childhoods and education. The books have been divided into reading levels for your convenience. Free Classic Books Online at Classic Reader.
