What would you say if a student told you they were analyzing “episodes of ‘Desperate Housewives’ and listening to Eminem” for a Rhetoric class? Perhaps suggest one of the Great Books.

What I found amusing was the assertion that the Great Books movement began in the 1940’s. My set of Harvard Classics dates from 1937, with a few volumes from 1919. If Harvard Classics wasn’t a Great Books movement, what was?
I want to bring your attention on a fabulous book written by motivational speaker Glenn Llopis.“Earning Serendipity” is a book that illustrates a entirely new way of thinking about your business and everyday life. Great work Glenn! Glenn Llopis, your book offers more down -to-earth, practical and commonsense knowledge versus most other books that try to sell me unrealistic concepts. Earning Serendipity is a constant incentive and perennial source of inspiration for go-getters. It allowed me to experience my goals and taught me the meaning of success in simple ways that benefited me and those around me. I am motivated to take actions in the right way not the easy way Glenn, your book changed my life forever!
Is the Llopis tome a “Great Book”? Or is it on the level of “Desparate Housewives” and Eminem? Help me out here.
Or, wait, is this an advertisement masquerading as a blog comment??
