As I continue in my journey to seek wisdom, I find a greater desire to dive deeper into certain subjects that interest me. For this reason I am starting a new venture called Seasons With. During each season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) I will read 12 books on one broad subject and write a short nonfiction memoir about my experience with the subject and my own unique take on the material. It will help me learn more about myself through concurrent introspection and extrospection. I hope that Seasons With will provide a fun and informative read that is not as heavy or dry as a traditional nonfiction book. The first subject to be tackled will be the French Revolution. Starting December 21st I will begin reading 9 nonfiction and 3 fiction books ranging from Marie Antoinette to Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities. Stay tuned for the chapters which will be released sometime in the spring.
