ENDORSEMENTS
| "I've been an adult education student for a little over two decades, and I've had 40 to 50 courses. There is no one else like Professor Miller. I took the class because I had been a business major — didn't know anything about literature — and felt my education was lacking. But you learn as much about history and philosophy as you do about fiction. He himself knows everything. It's not smartness he has; it's wisdom."
— Joe Haedrich

| "In the deep South, it's known as born-again; in New York, it's called studying reading with Walter Miller — and the transformation is just as profound. In our middle age, Walter re-introduced us to seminal works of literature, history and art with an impact that made memories of youthful education seem pale indeed. And immediately, our bi-weekly (and later bi-monthly) meetings with Walter became the single most important events in our intellectual life. We were enraptured by these superbly-led discussions of the world of thought and we shall be forever grateful."

| "Walter is always thorough, well prepared, not only on the content, structure and style of the particular book, but on its context, the author, other related works, art and music as well as other books. I can only imagine the hours of preparation each book must take. He always seeks to expand our awareness, to give us another way of looking at the world, to stretch our self-imposed or socially developed limits. Walter's own enjoyment of the world of ideas and language and possibilities is what comes through. It is contagious. And inspiring."
