Many teens and young adults are challenged (aka required) to read "the classics" in high school or college literature courses. Yet others either didn't have those courses, never took those electives or just flat out "didn't want" to read these books at that point in their lives. As we grow older and (hopefully) wiser, we now begin to ask did we miss something? Or if you did read the classics, is there something more now that I'm at a different life stage? Are you an avid reader who likes to re …

We do not support expanding the Federal government power outside of their enumerated powers even though it may help advance conservative v …
