Which is the best book to learn Latin?

Just read Cicero in Latin and eventually god will bless you with the ability to understand

I really love the Cambridge Latin course. Aside from learning the language, you learn a bunch of stuff about the daily lives of Romans in Pompeii. I kept going through it not just to learn the language, but to learn more cool historical facts

Yeah, the Cambridge books provide the best of both worlds. It has loads of reading material like Familia Romana and a ton of grammar like Wheelock's but not as autistic.

Thanks for this. I want to learn more about Latin to get closer to Catholic Latin masses of old

interlinear or page-mirrored texts are my favorite way of learning languages. There is a serious paucity of these things. Not to say you don't also have to study grammar and do exercises and stuff.

Learning Latin just to read Cicero is worth it in my opinion. He wrote with absolutely perfect style, like flowing spring water.
