Ask Marilyn

Allison Boucher of Bend, Oregon, writes:

Marilyn: Several years ago, you recommended to a reader (not me) that reading the series The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant would give her a good foundation in history. Well, I took your advice and am proud to tell you that I finally finished the last book. It was fascinating and worthwhile.

Marilyn responds:

I'm delighted to hear it, Allison. And I'm sure that your view of the world has undergone a transformation.
