Classics and the Western Canon discussion

Proposed Tentative Reading Schedule*

June 1-7: Book 1
June 8-14: Book 2
June 15-21: Book 3
June 22-28: Book 4
June 29-July 5: Book 5
July 6-12: Work as a whole

* This is tentative because I'm not sure whether six weeks is enough for this work. There is a lot here to discuss, both the book itself and its role in Western thought. If we need more time, we can take it. But let's start out here.

I will be away for a couple of days, back late Tuesday if all goes as planned. This means that I probably won't post Book 4 on Tuesday evening as usual, but not until Wednesday morning. If anybody is passionate to get to the Book for discussion on Tuesday evening, go ahead and post the new topic for it in the same format as the other books. Otherwise, I should have it up sometime Wednesday morning.

I'll also be away early next week, but expect to be back in time to post Book 5 on Tuesday evening as usual.
