You are so on track 😱 The Aeneid is so great. Notes from the tilt-a-whirl helped me through my angsty middle school doubting-my-faith phase. Having read 1984 I really wanna read Brave New World to have all that apocalyptic dystopian (prophetic????) stuff under my belt. I want to read Planet Narnia too!! I should probably read more Chesterton (I have only read Orthodoxy). And I need to read more Wodehouse eeeeeee. Have fun with Dante, Milton, and Dickens, all iconic 😉 If you want an easy and short intro to Dickens I recommend The Christmas Carol. Probably one of my favorite books. And please, do an update on what you think of all the new books you read! Thanks for sharing! You have aroused the book-devouring wolves in my soul now and I want to read everything 👀
(Also you wouldn't happen to be classically educated, would you? I am too... if you can't tell....)
Well... yes and no. I was homeschooled/homeschool-coop-schooled through high-school and did an IH4 class in LOS my senior year... but our homeschool co-op had a lot of classical schooling influences.

So ... yes?
Ok awesome 😂 the breadth of your reading tastes strongly suggested classical education to me
I consider this a compliment!
