@skells Thanks for these tips.

So far, I have been following what interests me and reading as my interests take me. That is the easy part. The hard part is retaining that information that I have read and something that I would like to change. I try to avoid newer stuff because it is harder to find reputable sources for learning the classics without modern sensibilities getting in the way of it.

I have been thinking about reading smaller essays of a work that I have read but I haven't found a place for that yet. Thanks for the tip about the Trivium. Will have to look into that. Makes me wonder how they learned in the past.
