About the Folio

I’m always impressed with the accomplishments of others, from the heroic efforts of a single mother to the remarkable adventures of a mountaineer walking to the top of the tallest mountain. I’m also drawn to stories where underdogs discover the hope and determination they need to pursue their personal destiny. As we read these books together, we’ll take journeys of self discovery and learn how to face the challenges of the future.

About “Brave New World”

This science fiction classic portrays a seeming utopia where ignorance and distraction keep people sedated throughout their lives. Early in the book, there’s a terrifying scene where scientists condition children to feel an “instinctive hatred of books” so they will never challenge the grim social order constructed around them. I believe we can escape Huxley’s dystopian vision by reading great books that expand our horizons.
