Classics You Slept Through: Episode 54 - A Princess of Mars Wrap-up

We've finished our time upon Barsoom, but have we really learned anything? We'll break down our thoughts on the book and reveal our next title.

If you're interested in the idea of the how we use our individual tools to process race in America (especially with regard to Christianity), the book I mentioned is Divided by Faith, by Christian Smith and Michael Emerson.

Also, I'm very chagrined that the 'commencement speech' by Vonnegut that I referenced is neither a speech nor by Vonnegut. It's actually a column in the Chicago Tribune, by Mary Schmich. It gained internet life (and the Vonnegut connection) as an email forward in the late 90s. So, yes, I was taken in by an email your grandmother would post on Facebook. (Though, in my defense, Vonnegut is on record as saying he'd be proud to have written it).
