Hi Yuli, I am so happy you found these topics you like - super! I just wanted to leave you a quick note about the class calendar: the idea is that the weeks are organized by area, so that people are reading in the same general area each week, even if they are choosing different books. So, you can do Cupid and Psyche in Week 2 ... but the Chinese Fairy Tales you need to do in Week 6 or 7 which is the Asia section, and then the English Fairy Tales would be in Week 11 or 12 when people are reading British books. Does that make sense? So, start with Cupid and Psyche, and then you can decide what you want to do for Week 3 from the other Classical units or the Biblical units. I hope that makes sense! And I am so glad you found all these options that interest you!
