I’ve been thinking about closing a rather large gap in my reading for a while. Thanks to some really good advice from a fellow parishioner, I’m going to be working my way through St. John’s College‘s reading list, starting with the freshman fall semester readings. Here’s the list, slightly edited, with links to Project Gutenberg‘s pages for each of them.
