Found a Little Free Library at the end of our hiking trail. I ran to my car and back so I could leave some books. It was very empty.

TheSpineView So good of you to put a few book in. ❤️📖📚 8mo

Leslie_Ak2Oh I‘m glad you had some spare books for this type of emergency 😂❤️📚 8mo

vonnie862 @Leslie_Ak2Oh I always have a bag of books in mine and my husband's car for these emergencies. 😅 8mo

Leslie_Ak2Oh @vonnie862 😂😂 I can see always having a stash, but a stash that you‘re willing to part would be the challenge for me 8mo

Good bio of the short-reigned emperor who tried to revive paganism which avoids the trap of making him an Enlightenment poster boy and attempts to see him in his own terms. Some annoying clusters of typos towards the end, and it could have done with some maps and a family tree.

Maude Oh, that sounds interesting. 5y

Julian and Education:

Unlike virtually every leader since, the emperor thought about it, encouraged it (Libanius comments that on his march from Constantinople to Antioch the emperor “was easy of access to teachers”) and wrote about it. But Julian went as far as to state explicitly that the brighter and better educated are more useful members of society.
