and spent a lot of time going through them and highlighting. I like everything I see - I just can't get a good feel for the reading list. I have so many good books I want to cover. I want to cover ancient sources like Livy, Eusebius, Josephus, and Plutarch; American history sources like the federalist & anti-fed papers and literature like Scarlet Pimpernel, Rabble in Arms, Lorna Doone, Last of the Mohicans; and lots of British literature!
What is your opinion of the TOG reading material compared to other programs? For example, the lists in WTM? Or Omnibus? I've also considered Omnibus, but I think we would have to add an entire credit hour just studying their interpretation & opinion of various literature. I do like the way TOG, as one of you said, gets out of the way.
I know I can substitute in some of my own material, but it will kind of defeat the purpose if I have to rewrite the entire program. So do you think I could make of list of, say, 20 of my most important books then call and ask TOG if they are included?
Thanks so much all of your help!

I am getting to the point where I can no longer keep up with all my children's reading, so I am looking for some sort of discussion questions. I like the Q's in TOG, but I can't get a good idea of their reading list and I'm pretty picky about that. The samples I saw on light looked a little weak and it feels like a stab in the dark to spend so much money without examining their book list. I've been using books from TruthQuest, which I love, but it doesn't help with discussions.
Is there any other place to get good discussion questions like TOG? I don't mean the comprehension/were-you-paying-attention type questions, but pondering the big themes of major historical events? Is there such a thing? I would like to stick with a Christian world-view.
Thanks!
Discussion questions - I like the Q's in TOG, any other sources?

I've got a stack of samples here over an inch thick, but I missed the order forms. Thanks so much! :D
