Can we do it?

Natalie and Ethan are going to work through a very rigorous curriculum called Omnibus I which covers history, literature, and theology. The reading for it is daunting. Here is the reading list for this year:


Genesis, Exodus, Epic of Gilgamesh, Code of Hammurabi, First and Second Samuel, First and Second Kings, The Odyssey, Plutarch's Lives, The Early History of Rome, Orestia, The Theban Trilogy, The Last Days of Socrates, Histories, Luke, Acts, The Aeneid, The Twelve Caesars, Julius Caesar, Revelation, Chosen by God, Till We Have Faces, The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Minor Prophets, The Silver Chair, The Last Battle, The Best Things in Life, The UnAborted Socrates, Galatians, Romans, James, The Eagle of the Ninth, The Screwtape Letters, The Holiness of God.


Whew! My goal it to get through the first week... and then the second week...and then... This is the most ambitious work load we have attempted. We'll see how it goes.
