{"title":"Great Books in a Year","intro":"A year of reading through Great Books of the Western World, using only the works in this library. The plan follows the order of the set, from Homer and the Greek tragedians through the philosophers, historians and Church Fathers, the medieval and Renaissance poets, the founders of modern science and politics, and the novelists and thinkers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Long books take several days and some days are long, so treat the dates as a guide and catch up when you need to. Each day has one question to talk over together.","works":229,"count":365,"note":"Day 1 is January 1; in leap years February 29 repeats February 28. levels uses e (K-5), j (6-8), h (9-12); null means
