This is a partial list of books I hope to get through in the coming year as part of our study of ancient history.
These are from the 100 Great Books list at Classical Christian Homeschooling. I took the ones from the top 20 list that I had not yet finished:
Homer, Iliad, Odyssey (I'm about halfway through the Iliad)
Plutarch, Greek and Roman Lives (OK, maybe not the whole thing, but at least several of them.)
Anthanasius, On the Incarnation
Hillyer, A Child's History of the World (I actually picked this up at a library book sale once and then discovered it's frequently recommended in Charlotte Mason lists. On my initial flip-through I wasn't that impressed, but I want to give it a second chance.)
I keep getting ahead of myself and wanting to read books on Ancient Egypt, but first I should do some thinking about what sort of books on Creation I think to be worthy reads from a literary standpoint as well as a philosophical one. |
