latin stuff

From: Andrew Burton Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2011 2:59 PM I'm fond of Moreland & Fleischer, _Latin: An Intensive Course_, for starters. Beyond that, you can get good practice with Dunlop's _Short Latin Stories_ and Groton & May's _Thirty-Eight Latin Stories_, then Hammond and Amory's _Aeneas to Augustus: A Beginning Latin Reader for College Students_ to get an idea of what you'd really like to read. Personally, I like Leonard and Smith's edition of _De rerum natura_, and the Pharr edition of the _Aeneid_ is good for beginners. Then you get into the long stuff, Cicero's law pleadings and the Catilinarians, Caesar's self-promotion, Catullus' wonderful dirty poetry, and the whole of Latinity. "But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong." --Dennis Miller (I didn't like Latin for a very long time, but then I learned to read it for real in the UC Berkeley summer intensive course prior to a return to grad school. Greek has more interesting nooks and crannies for the beginning linguist, or so I thought. That class got me over that.)
