Hello Sister Muza,
I got this list from a friend at Yale University - he called it the Great Books Curriculum - If you read these and mentally systematise them you'll be able to better analyse current events and fully take part in society as a concerned and informed citizen.
Respectfully and Humbly yours,
CD

I have a terrible habbit they say people who know me well. I am a collector of vinyl records, CD´s, books, maps, tapes, newspapers, post cards from distant areas of the world - anything which have my personal interest, I just can´t throw it out.
Through two lost marriages, I have promised a thouand times to throw some of it out, in particular the books, the maps and the tapes, because they take so much more space.
It goes like this every second year. I begin in the morning, removing some of the books I have two or three copies of, but then after I have removed some 10 books or maps, I feel sorry for the books and maps. I think to myself, they have had a nice life with me, never any humidity or dirt where they are on the shelves. What sort of invironment would they end up in far from their earlier peaceful home?
Then I feel embarrased towards my books, maps and tapes, which have given me such joy over the years, not to mention the knowledge which go along with the joy. Then I begin to read in one of the ones, I have removed, most often I will sit in my favourite chair, and then time passes until I have finished the book, and I suddenly realise it´s almost dinner time, and I have forgotten every thought of throwing anything away. So I put the ten books, the maps and the tapes back on it´s own place again.
In the kitchen or the living room, both my exe´s would say: Have you done it this year? How many books have you thrown out? Can I go and see for myself, they would say?
Sure thing, I say. Of course lying to my teeth.
Do any of you guys feel the same way about collecting books, tapes, maps or anything else you care about???

I can be a horrible house keeper at times. I have to remind myself now
that I'm not living in the other place where I can just let things drop.
I have to pick it up.

I know that you guys were a bit funny but making fun of someone who
wants to read isn't so funny. I have some literature that I need to read
and study from my church classes. I have the list myself.
1. Playing the guitar.-off the net
2. Firm Foundation- Growing strong in God's Family.
dinner
That's it!

Hi Sister Muza,
I did not detect any untoward verbiage directed at you by Intet. He's a gentleman who doesn't want to see anyone get hurt. He does sometimes rib one, of course all in jest.
Cheers,

Muza dear
By "So?" which was for you Muza, I meant, which book out of the extremely well represented list of various books on various issues or subjects for beginners provided so generously by Professor Corno Dolce have you decided for?

Hi Intet,
The beauty of this curriculum is that it represents the Classical Liberal Arts. You have to read all the books and then write a 100 page Capstone Paper(Thesis) where you incorporate all the main ideas into one major theme from all the books you have read. If you follow through, no politician will ever want to debate you since they will not be able to pull the wool over your eyes. You'll be too smart for them to handle.

C5, Im right there with you
Intet, I actually am familiar with quite a bit of those books, but I wouldnt mind refreshing my memory on some of those. I do like the Ancient Greek plays, but I have taken a few classes on them, and those are not what they seem when you just read them at home.
