MU’s comments from the Read Classics. group.

Great, thanks. So once Don Quixote read, we could discuss it.

No problem at all.

In addition to encouragement, she also suggests a method on how to read the classics, and has compiled a list of books to read in order.


As for the method, she suggests the trivium method, which is taking reading, taking notes, and summarising (the grammar stage), thinking about it critically (the logic stage), and talking about it or discussing it with others (the rhetoric stage). She also suggests a diary about the books and how to organise it, and suggests some questions to ask about each book.

As for the list of the book, it is available here:

So the first book I'm going to read is according to the list is Don Quixote.

Would that work for you?

Great! So you are reading the The Well-Educated Mind for the second time? I am on chapter 4 right now.

Just started reading The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had and am looking for a reading partner, as this guide suggests I should. Anybody interested?
