My Education

As I look over the various book lists I want my children to read over the years, I am inspired to further my own education. I love to read and usually have several things I am reading at any given time. I have decided to begin a study of the books in year 11 of Ambleside. Here are the books/essays/short stories that I am interested in reading this year, (my goal is to read at least 16 books, plus essays, etc.):
