This is wonderful! I too have had this experience. Even recently I was reading something about the ideas of Plato, but then realized, why don't I actually read Plato first and come back to this later. This realization got be back on the booklist I started years ago. Needless to say, I haven't much time these days for modern literature. Not because it's "bad" per se, but because the ancient booklist is rather long that comes before it.

Thanks for the inspiration.

I would love to hear you go deeper on the “why” section. Are you seeking knowledge, enlightenment? Perhaps you’ve said elsewhere, but beyond wanting to do it before you die, well… why? Haha. 😂

all my best,

Will
