I'm going to be reading this for a long long time, so I'll update as I go. 1) Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Reread. I wish he'd finished it, it's great, and was as delightful to read again as it was the first time. I get the feeling that if he'd finished it I would understand and feel more sympathetic towards the US Revolution. Lovely, even in unfinished form. 2) Journal of John Woolman. Well, I'd never have picked this up, so this compilation justifies itself already.

Well, I'd never have picked this up, so this compilation justifies itself already. A Quaker who decided that slavery was wrong and went around telling people so, very earnest and sincere and full of moral courage and slightly odd opinions-- he was also against dye in clothes -- and convinced Quakers to quit practicing and endorsing and profiting by slavery, because it was wrong. Who says people can't make a difference? Not exactly a fun read, but I'm glad I have read it. N.B. I'm going to be reading this essentially forever. That's OK, but I'm still no more than 1% of the way through. 3) William Penn The Fruits of Solitude. Well, that was a yawnfest of proverbs. Glad to be done with that. 4) Plato, Apology. I have read it a million times and this is not an exciting translation. Skipping. 5) Plato, Crito. I practically know it by heart. Skipping. 6) Plato, Phaedo. I absolutely agee with the inclusion of these, though actually I might have put the Phaedrus and the Symposium instead of the Crito and the Phaedo if anyone had asked me. But still skipping. 7) Epictetus, The Golden Sayings. 8) The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

I saw this at Delphi publishing site about the Harvard Classic offering and has to have it, though I am not quite sure how many books I will read before I die but as I read at my convince and definitely not in order. I just have to mention after watching a "Waltons" tv episode earlier this year where John Boy wants to buy the whole Harvard Classic Collection of books with his mother's help. I had recently seen that this edition would be coming out before seeing the show but the show cliched it f I saw this at Delphi publishing site about the Harvard Classic offering and has to have it, though I am not quite sure how many books I will read before I die but as I read at my convince and definitely not in order.

I had recently seen that this edition would be coming out before seeing the show but the show cliched it for me. The Walton paid dearly for them but today electronically, it is very inexpensive. My reviews are listed under the title of the book but I will read from here and highlight/ take notes. Great navigation in this Kindle version!

Sweet Baby Jesus... I actually finished this behemoth!!! It will take me a year to decompress after this. This endeavor was more grueling than when I tried to swim across Lake Erie from Cleveland to Canada when I was 17. That damn near killed me, but it was over sooner! In the meantime, now probably could figure out how to end hunger and have world peace. Yeah, if only.

I owned the hard-cover collection and carted them around the US for 40+ years. The ebook version is so much more manageable.

As this is a collection of 71 different works (which will take me a VERY long time to read), I've decided to update this review as I work my way through the collection. 1. "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" - Recommended! Quite an interesting read. 2. "The Journal" by John Woolman - In progress.

So I rated this five stars (^^ see?) not in respect to the content since I haven't read the entire thing - it's like 38,000 pages - but just the value. You can get a huge amount of some of literature's greatest works for $1.99? Insane.

Good reproduction I added this to my Kindle library, not certain of the reproduction quality. I was looking for something else so I don’t plan to start reading till I’m done reading what I was looking for. I did check the quality of the reproduction and am pleased to report, so far so good.

Good compilation of must read texts.

Rating for Franklin’s Autobiography Benjamin Franklin was a wise man. His story of self-improvement and his ideas which he put into action are as relevant today as they were two centuries plus ago.

This is not something you read through; it is to be browsed over time. I have a hardbound set for nearly 50 years so I've read most of it. Got the Kindle set just to have for browsing too whenever I am out and about. This is not something you read through; it is to be browsed over time.

No table of contents I can't find any table of contents, so it is almost impossible to find anything in this book. If there's one it needs to be at the beginning.
