Responding to the comment on another thread, as HN still is not allowing me to reply to those messages (this is a copy of a comment there):

Not my site at all!

I have no affiliation with myharvardclassics.com whatsoever. Just a fan of Dr. Elliot's original 1909 compilation.

I just found them online a few years back and they have the free .pdfs of the volumes with the corresponding page numbers for the readings. If you know of a better resource for the books and the readings that have the correct corresponding page numbers, let me know.

WalterGR, could you please stop flagging the posts now? I make no money from anything

Geeze man, I'm just trying to do a little book club thingy.

If you don't want to join, that's totally cool.

EDIT: Since I can't reply to the comment below this one:

I'm not trying to grow an audience, I'm just trying to do a little reading club thingy for people on HN that want to read along. I'm not really caring about 'traction'(?). As far as I know, the book club idea isn't breaking any site rules. If it is, can you point me to the one that is being broken.

Thanks!

EDIT: Just sent them an email, will let you know when I do.

@dang

Any idea why this was flagged?

For anyone reading this, I'd love some feedback on the formatting of the post. Specifically:

- Is the title of the post good? What can be improved?

- Is the formatting of the daily reading's information/metadata good? What can be improved?

- Should I put 'passages I found interesting' in the post itself or should I put them as comments to the post? Are there too many passages? HN has a 4k char limit, so I am leaving out a lot of interesting passages as is.

Yup! Here' the link for June 15th: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31754336

Let us all know what you think of either reading in the comments.

You know what? Screw it, I'm starting a bookclub on the readings for the Harvard Classics. Here's the discussion for today's reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31741839

I'll try my level best to post the daily reading every day for the next year. Let's use those posts as a place to discuss the readings. Join me on this 15-minute-a-day quest to bettering ourselves.
