I love St. John's. I might transfer there next year because my school is closing.

That's a pretty good list: are asterisk'd books ones you've already read? I'm starting Vico's The New Science after my failed summer attempt (I can't get any reading or thinking or pretty much anything done in the summer), definitely looking forward to getting into it.

The asterisks are something from St John's; there may be curriculum differences by campus or some such. I've read almost none of these, barring some of the Greek plays, Herodotus, the Constitution, etc. I snagged it for inspiration for the ongoing Bildung. I find myself talking to students about the Enlightenment and realizing I'm trying to sound as if I know something about it!
