Thanks so much for these.

I'm a few months from quitting my job and traveling indefinitely, and this is my reading project for all those train/plane/bus rides. Have any of you guys read ALL (or most) of the Harvard Classics?

What was the experience like?

I've got so many gaps in my "basic history" knowledge base right now; it's pretty sad -- I can't wait to start reading this stuff. I'll resist the urge to jump around and start at volume I, working my way down.

Any other experiences/advice with taking on the legendary "five-foot-bookshelf?"
