Summary: And Also For The Self-Taught
Comment: This short (142 pages) books consists of 129 readings, textual notes, an index of proper names and a vocabulary. The readings include eight from Aesop, six from Theophrastus (witty little character sketches about the "Grumbler" or the "Boor"), eight from Lucian (short allegorical dialogues), 31 from Herodotus (Atticized), 32 from Thucydides, 32 from Xenophon (from various works) and 12 from Plato (various dialogues).

The readings are not ordered by difficulty, and are all pretty accessible after a year of Greek. Neither the introductions to the various writers nor the textual notes are what I'd call fulsome (hence I give the book four stars, rather than five), but they are enough to help any autodidact through difficult constructions, slang forms, etc.
