Hey /lit/,

This might be off topic, but what the fuck, this the only board with decent advice on such things.

I can't afford a formal college education and thus, plan to get an autodidactic one.
In our glorious age of information, it ought to be reasonably easy to access the necessary material, but I need a good, approved study plan for discipline and order.

How should I go for that?

My interests lie in History (where I want to Focus on modern Britain and US), Philosophy (too little knowledge yet to specialize) and The English language.

Any tips on where to start and pointers to communities will sure be appreciated.

Hobsbawm books are nice. He's like a more enthusiastic Braudel

https://historyofphilosophy.net/ podcasts is where I got my philosophic background from
People around here love/hate Russell's History of Philosophy.

Bumping for you

Hey,
You could check out stanford plato.edu, I still like Wikipedia even if it contains a few errors. I personally prefer to not stick with a plan when learning and just see where new information leads me to.

Good luck!

Look up the St John’s College reading list for a “great texts” curriculum.
