Secrets of a Buccaneer Scholar


“Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar: How Self-Education and the Pursuit of Passion Can Lead to a Lifetime of Success” by James Marcus Bach

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. I think that by the time you’re my age you’ve already gotten on this path, or you never well. I’d highly recommend this book for any teenager though, and not just because it’s full of the same stuff that I tell teens. This book is very accessible, and is full of good tips, cute anecdotes, and endless enthusiasm for the topic of self-education.

The one thing I didn’t like is that I felt Mr. Bach tooted his own horn just a wee bit too much–at least for my liking.

Anyway, I recommend this book in the same spirit as “The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education” by Grace Llewellyn and “Learning All The Time” by John Holt

I’m sure this book will quickly become a classic must-read in the homeschooling world.
