>But it feels like no matter how advanced you get, you'll still need a companion text with every Latin text you read, or you may miss the meaning entirely.
So would these companion texts have all the info I need, not only vocab definitions? I'd figure that there would be some sort of online thing nowadays for classical texts like Ovids' with all the grammar info in margins/scrollovers.

I like the way you think. You share my attitudes. I find a lot of joy in just picking up phrases alone. I understand that going through it is arduous, but if I have to work at one book of Metamorphoses while studying my grammar, I wouldn't mind the time it took. Really there is so much meat and art in these texts that one page is enough to keep my occupied and interested. Rip i just spent part of my studying today reading an entire page of Wheelock's consonant pronunciations oy vey!

What do you think of Wheelock? I'd hate to abandon the text I have at hand but if you think this 'latina per se illustrata' is the way to go then i'll trust. I meant to imply by my main post that I wanted to use classical texts with the addition of economical grammar study.

Can we start an inspiration thread? Reading about things my favorite writers did muy inspires me
i'll start (david bowie is a writer)
