Literature Suggestions for 2014

A literature selection is usually considered to be a work of fiction, but you can choose from works of non-fiction, self-help, gospel related etc.... as long as they are different books from the ones you are reading in other subject areas this year.  

----------------

Keep a notebook.  The notebook can be used for thoughts and impressions, summaries, quotes, and more.

“It is very helpful to read with a commonplace book or reading-diary, in which to put down any striking thought in your author, or your own impression of the work, or of any part of it; but not summaries of facts. Such a diary, carefully kept through life, should be exceedingly interesting as containing the intellectual history of the writer; besides, we never forget the book that we have made extracts from, and of which we have taken the trouble to write a short review.” 

-- Charlotte Mason (V, 260.)
