One thing I rarely hear mentioned in the classical world is the need for re-reading great stories. Maybe it’s a fear of ruining our habit of attention or a symptom of our modern need to consume and move on, but we’ve missed something important when it comes to revisiting stories. So, let’s ask: How does re-reading change us as readers?
I’m joined by Mrs. Laura E. Wolfe and Mrs. Lisa Rose to discuss why it’s important we revisit stories, how revisiting makes us readers (instead of consumers), and what we can all learn from Charlotte Mason’s literary life.
Plus, we have our first ever baby guest.

Laura E. Wolfe is the author of the beloved children's book Sasha and the Dragon (2017) and the literary novella The Lion and the Saint (2020). She has home educated her five children since the oldest was a baby, and loves nothing more than to read aloud from a good book in the morning (yes, she does the voices) and take off for an adventure in the afternoon (the go-bag is already in the van).
Lisa Rose is a pianist and singer whose love of books and Bach is only eclipsed by her love of family and the Orthodox Church. When she is not busy juggling her myriad responsibilities as a homemaker and homeschooler she is most likely to be found curled up somewhere comfortable with her nose in a book.
