Thomas Jefferson Education For Teens

I completed reading the book Thomas Jefferson Education For Teens yesterday.  I did not like the book as well as the other Tjed books but it has some good lists of books and motivations for those in the teen years.  I did get some good reading suggestions for me out of it, mainly "Our Home" by C.E. Sargent and "The Fourth Turning" by Strauss and Howe.  Neither of these books are in our library system so I will try to find them used.  Right now during my study time I am reading, "The 5000 Year Leap" by Skousen, "How to Read A Book" by Mortimer Adler, "The Coming Aristocracy" by Oliver Demille and "Madame Bovary" by Flaubert (I think that is the author's last name, the book isnt right in front of me at the moment.)
