MODS, PUT SOME OF THE CHARTS IN THE STICKY

Far too many threads pertain to recommending beginners beginner books. A simple and elegant solution to reduce this issue is to simply place a selection of popular charts in the pinned "welcome to /lit/" thread—the beginner greek chart, entry /lit/ chart, and the /lit/ core chart to name a few—as it's clear all these newfags don't bother to read the sticky close enough to see there's a wiki, let alone be mentally agile enough to navigate it. We can never stop rec threads but threads asking "where do I start?" and "I'm new, recommend me a book" are totally redundant as they receive the same answers every time, perhaps even being presented with one of the aforementioned charts; putting the chart in the actual sticky will make it easier for newfags to see it and read it—reducing these redundant threads. There's literally no reason to not do this as it a risk free and completely easy modification to make that would improve the board immediately. There are many things to fix, something so easily remedied should be the first. DO IT, MODS: Newfags don't like clicking on links, just stick the stupid charts in the sticky

for an introductory text in philosophy - Robert Paul Wollf "About Philosophy"
learn basic formal logic and rules of argumentation
if you have any particular topic you're more interested in - read something about it on SEP (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
once you're done with that start with the Greeks - first mythology and history of ancient Greece, then pre-Socratics etc.

Can I read all the books in this chart in a single week?

Is there a version of the Iliad and the Odyssey where there's one page of Homeric Greek and then on the opposite page an English translation?

Also general Homer/The Greeks thread.
