Hi, everyone. Sorry, it has been so long since my last post. Just because I have not been writing as much lately does not mean that I have not been reading. I just finished Hobbes' Leviathan today, so I'm re-posting the FFL list with Leviathan checked off and my next book marked. This does not mean that I have completed my Book Review for Leviathan, stay tuned for more as we continue to read through the Founding Father's Library.
