I'm at the 521 page mark, one chapter before the famous chapter "Snow".
I would like to note that yesterday I returned to the programming language, Pascal, and wrote a program called "The Joy of Reading". It performs the functions of a database: books I've read, their authors, and how many pages they total. I will fill it in as I go.
Of course, it is fitting to point out that Blaise Pascal is among the geniuses whose works are recommended by Van Doren. Pensees (Thoughts) is the title. Looking forward to it too!
For Christmas, my thoughtful parents gave me The History by Herodotus and Metamorphoses by Ovid. Both titles were recommended by Van Doren.
