***Last Readings of The Semester***

These are they and this is it. Download The Prince onto your iTunes and listen to the appropriate files, or just listen to the assigned files at the Librivox site. It's about ninety minute's worth of material. The time will fly by if you just relent and allow yourself to have fun with this. Load your pod and take a walk, or go running to this stuff, as I do. It's better than music. Though I don't necessarily love Machiavelli himself, I love reading him. Montaigne as well.

We'll discuss Machiavelli on M/T and Montaigne on W/Th. This will be great way to end a rewarding semester. Our last few meetings have been especially good, and I want to thank you for your interest and participation. I hope you all have had as much fun and learned as much as I have.
