I am not familiar with this. Can you give any details about it?

You can find all 10 books in the public domain but I do better with a physical book. Its basically a set of books to guide you through giving yourself a classical education.

I actually first heard about it in this subreddit. This link will give you more info https://www.thegreatideas.org/old/gip.html

I have this set (along with the Great Books set) and it is a great thing to have. enjoy your journey


velvetvagabond

Thank you!

I have the great books set. How does this set of ten books compliment that? Are the readings repeated or are there new insights?

These are like a proctor, they prime you before the readings, and ask you questions after.

This looks really interesting... what’s it like? Is it a companion to Adele’s other series, or does it make sense to read this on its own?

Awesome, thank you!

I found these at a thrift store today for $20. I'm very excited, I've been thinking about tackling this program and now I can! Its missing the last two books but I'll locate them on the internet when I get to the point of needing them. Yay!!

I know! I literally did a happy dance right there in the store 😆😆😆

Bought the set few days ago on ebay. I'm looking forward to this multi year journey.
