Years ago I bought the “Great Books” set, then later picked up the Walter Black” series, and made inroads into each. But other books on my reading list always eventually got in the way. I have more time now and am able to keep both going.
I used to print books I’d find for free on line 20 pages at a time and read the over lunch. Amazing how much you can do over time if you are religious about it.
I have frequently said that the best education in the world was 4 years in the navy and a set of Harvard Classics... Of course in real life I was never in the navy, but I still believe it.
LOL, was never in the Navy but I was in the AF, wished a read a little more in my younger days. After I got out I became an apprentice electrician, then licensed, really enjoyed the first volume with Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography concerning his apprenticeship and business practices. Wished I read it while working for others and starting my on business back in the day.
