Heathwood English faculty tackle books (often ones we've assigned) and discuss why we keep re-reading and teaching them. High-level literary analysis may happen, but more than anything we want to capture what makes these books exciting to read. We hope this will either inspire you to pick up a given tome, or re-visit something you thought you read closely.

The Great Gatsby
<p>Fulfilling Dr. Plowden's hopes and wishes, we tackle F. Scott Fitzgerald's jazz age masterpiece. A veritable party of a discussion (with some new categories!) ensues with Dr. George Scouten, Mr. James Hane, and Dr. Elisha Sircy joining Dr. Plowden. Is this the greatest novel America has produced? Has Daisy Buchanan been misread by generations? Would you bet on a horse named "Valley of Ashes"? Listen to your answers and ponder your own. </p>

The Odyssey
<p>In this episode we tackle one of the foundational texts of Western literature, Homer's Odyssey. Like the poem itself, the discussion is wide-ranging and at times rambling, but hopefully like the poem it also helps you think and contemplate some of the big issues in life. The fingerprints of Homer's epic can be seen in great literature from Dante to Milton to Wallace Stevens, and it can also be found in Breaking Bad and minivans manufactured by Honda. It's in our cultural DNA, so to speak. </p> <p>This discussion features Mr. James Hane, Dr. Larry Rhu, and Dr. Elisha Sircy.</p>
