GREAT BOOKS – THE SECOND DECADE: YEAR 9, 2015
The calendar is not laid out precisely; the months in the first column show graphically about
when a book is to be read. I have a particular schedule for the books
in the "Day-by-day" column; they are placed in approximate relation to
the list of months, but their exact dates are given as well. The books
in the "Other" column are placed in very loose approximation with the
list of months. I plan to read the Bhagavad Gita, for instance, sometime in early March.
For considerations of space, I included only abbreviated references on this table. Details on titles and page numbers can all be found below the calendar as well as under the tab marked The List, next to the (9) in each category (since this is year 9).
