Ground rules 4 years ago

Lots of Great Books lists, but I’m using the Suggested Reading from How to Read a Book. http://www.interleaves.org/%7Erteeter/grtadler.html
It seems to have less focus on 20th Century works than some of the other lists I’ve seen. I would love to know enough Latin by the time I get to Cicero to work through the Latin works in the original.
