This book was absolutely not what I expected it to be. It was our non-fiction pick for book club over the last two months, and it came with a lot of hype from fellow members. The story itself is equal parts fascinating and head-scratching - It’s an incredible feat of collective human effort to create a complete lexicon of English words from the 1500s to the 1800s. What amazed me most was the sheer number of people involved and the almost Herculean effort of communities around the world working for decades, really centuries, to bring the Oxford English Dictionary to life. The focus on Dr. Minor makes it even more unbelievable. He’s one of the strangest real-life figures I’ve ever read about, brilliant, deeply troubled, and utterly unforgettable. There were several moments when I literally had to stop and ask myself, what just happened? Even though it’s under 300 pages, this book is incredibly dense, so carve out some time for it. But it’s a story I won’t forget, and it’s made me look at words and the people who catalog them with a newfound sense of awe and respect.

I enjoyed this book, and I’m glad I stuck with it. I think I expected this to feel a bit more traumatic than the gently told narrative that I got. Set in the mid 1990s, it also held a bit of nostalgia for me. I don’t have homeschool experiences to draw from, but the intent of this book was to share the author’s experiences, and not make generalizations about homeschooling for others. It is a thoughtful memoir, full of complex feelings of guilt, obligation, and struggle for identity. It is clear that the author has mixed feelings about his childhood, like anyone else might. My favorite moment, though, is the way his older brother Adam decides to assert his separation from the family and define his own independence; in a way that Stefan could not find in his heart to do for himself. I’m Team Adam.

Just finished Lies My Teacher Told Me—and wow. This book exposes how most American history textbooks are more about myth-making than truth-telling. Ghostwritten. Uncited. Sanitized. Shaped by privilege and power. What passes for “history” in schools often erases the perspectives that matter most—and keeps us passive, not curious. It’s a sobering reminder that the stories we’re told are often the ones designed to keep us from asking the right questions. But sociology, critical thinking, and voices from the margins are reclaiming the narrative. This should be the textbook. Not banned. Taught. Discussed. Underlined. A must-read for anyone who ever felt like the version of history they learned left too much unsaid.

A must for any educator… I got this from the library, to use as a dissertation source, but best believe I will be purchasing this ASAP so I can have it on hand to refer back to. I definitely think there are better resources out there, but combining this with them? Flawless. I learned a lot, and I’ll continue to learn a lot with this book.
