Reading Stoner currently, and this resonated with me on a deep level.
Sometimes, when I’m immersed in a book, whether merely “good” or truly “great,” I look at my reading list and feel a strange anxiety wash over me: so much to read, so little time. I try to remind myself that reading is not a race, but a journey. How do you deal with this feeling?

Switching my child to a Classical School…
Sorry if this isn’t the best thread for this type of inquiry… please delete if inappropriate for the sub.
We’re applying for a somewhat nearby classical school for my son (grade 2). I was raised in public education in Indiana so my exposure to the classics is limited. Overall what are some “essentials” I should prime myself with?
As he gets older I’m sure the syllabus will be more mature, and I’ll certainly read what they’re learning… but what I’m really getting at is what as a parent should I be reading to get a nice base coat of the classics? I also need to familiarize myself with the ancient history as well, as I know I would surely flounder if asked if something was Greek or Roman…
Any constructive recommendations for books, videos, or podcasts is appreciated!
