Greetings! Thought it prudent to make a post that lays out plainly the schedule for all these readings. Written posts for each of the readings will not adhere to this outline. Written posts will be posted whenever I get to them since the readings need to be allowed some time to process in the mind before being written. Also, this post will be updated after each reading with the most recently completed reading being moved to the bottom of the post in order to keep the next reading at the forefront.
The format is:
- #) Author: What to Read (Date to have it finished)
- Number of pages/ Time to read (rounded up)/ Number of days to read (rounded up)
Reminder: Reading times are estimates based on a rough word count of 800 words per physical book page read at a rate of 300 words per minute for at least 10 minutes of reading per day.
Note: The Great Books set does not include the Bible due to its ubiquitous nature in the Western World. I've chosen the Douay-Rheims Bible.
The reading plan started with The Great Conversation by Robert M. Hutchins on May 7th, 2018. I set aside six days to read this for the group I was working with. The official reading plan started on May 13th, 2018.
