Great Books

Have you ever thought that college would be better if you were older, wiser, and had a little more life under your belt? Film critic David Denby put it to the test. At age 48, he returned to study the classics and found that Homer, Dante and Shakespeare were better the second time around. He'll join us for a conversation about how age and experience add to the enjoyment of great books. That's next on Talk of the Nation from NPR News. Guests: David Denby Author Great Books: My Adventures with Homer, Rousseau Woolf, and Other Indestructible Writers of the Western World Film Critic, New York Magazine Listeners call in
