Life Time Reading Plan

Damn I really will have to come back to this thread when I have more time. This kind of stuff fascinates me :)

That makes two of us :) Though perhaps we ought to start a new thread, rather than continue to hijack Sappers Lifetime Reading thread...unless Sapper doesn't object...

I minored in Latin in college, which I found very helpful in passing my Chaucer class - a lot of middle English has latin/french roots. I also find it helpful in spelling words, I just have a better feel for when longer words have double consonants (Cincinnati, for instance.) But I mostly found it a nice change from my literature classes, since most of them were very fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants discussion affairs. One could not bs one's way through a Latin translation.

I took Latin for four years in high school. It has definitely helped my spelling and vocabulary. It also helped with the little bit of Spanish that I took...though I can read Spanish much better than I can speak it or understand it while being spoken (that has a lot to do with the speed at which it is spoken).
 
Our Language posts have been copied to another thread, Please continue this thread on the lifetime reading plan of PAIN!
 
Thank you Sapper :)


A lifetime reading of pain? Have you already started reading through this list? (Some of the selections looked pretty painful to me)
 
shprt of homers work, i havent read anything on that list- but ive heard of the art of war a couple times... can someone elaborate on what thats about- cuz it sounds cool... but thats just the title :D
 
Hmm I haven't read it but from what I get it's about the basics of any kind of battle, and focuses on common sense. But this is just a small summary a friend gave me.
