The Well-Read Life




From the minute I saw the enticing title, I knew this was a book that I had to read. The Well-Read Life: Nourish Your Soul Through Deep Reading and Intentional Friendship is as delightful as a cup of your favorite breakfast beverage at the dawn of the day.


Authors Marcie Stokman and Colleen Hutt have created a work which paints a lovely portrait of a life lived well through the reading of classic literature. But they are not promoting reading as a solitary enterprise--rather, they encourage individuals to come together to discuss their reading in an atmosphere of acceptance and discovery.


I was not aware of the Well-Read Mom phenomenon until I read this book. When I checked out the website I was shocked to learn how many Well-Read Mom groups are flourishing in my state, some of which are filled to capacity.


The book succeeded in piquing my curiosity about the classics and how I might fit them into my hectic life. It is a credit to the authors that their enthusiasm for great literature is so contagious!

I enjoy reading classics! And I've seen so many people recommend Well-Read Mom. Seems like a great way to build friendships too.
