John Locke advises beginning with Aesop's Fables, Eutropius and Justin (Marcus Junianus Justinus Frontinus). Then, go on to read Strauchius and Quintius Curtius. After that, you can go on to read the more difficult writers such as Cicero, Livy, Virgil, Horace etc

Milton advises starting with Cato, Varro, and Columella and then progressing to Vitruvius, Seneca, Celsus, Pliny and Solinus. After having become familiar with prose, begin reading Lucretius, Manilius, Horace, the rural part of Virgil, i.e. The Eclogues and the Georgics.

As for my own reccs, get LLPSI's fabulae syrae (can get from libgen if poorfag) which is basically wiki summaries of greek myths from Ovid, written in a classical style that requires knowledge of multiple subjunctive clauses, gerunds/gerundives, etc.
After that, get Roma Aeterna (part 2 of LLPSI). Since this book uses 90% of the grammar you'll find in most Latin works, you should be able to read anything you want after it, provided that you continue to gather vocab.
