“Great literature has the power to transform our hearts and minds, but we often don’t take time for it.” Franklin Classical School junior William Brittain recalls his reluctance to start his summer reading assignment, the 1,300 page epic novel, The Count of Monte Cristo. By committing to the challenge William learned more than he expected about the value of great literature and hopes to encourage others to make time for timeless things.
