Weigh Up Out Of Books The Story of Civilization (The Story of Civilization #1-11)

I read all 11 volumes of this series when I was housebound with 3 kids (2 of whom were infants). These books saved my sanity and kept my brain from turning to mush.

Where do I begin? These books were the foundation of my intellectual journey. Durant was my greatest teacher.

I read some of each volume and a great deal of The life of Greece, Caesar and Christ, The Renaissance, and The Reformation. Back in those days I had it in mind to become well-educated, but life got in the way. I remember those readings fondly; they still have pride of place on my living room book shelves. Very well written.

So far, I feel like I am finally getting history to some extent, and all I have read is half of the first book. So far he has covered Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia, and Jerusalem. Now we are hitting India. I love it, really.
