I finished the first half (the "Law and Historical Books" section) and now I'm on the second half (the "Poetry and Prophecy" section). I did a short detour into the Vulgate to read Latin Esdras (Also known as 4 Ezrae in the Vulgate, or 4-6 Ezra by modern scholars) since the Greek original is lost. I am happy to report that I read all the books in the first half of the Septuagint, even 4 Maccabees, which is not considered canon by anyone as far as I am aware and only included in an appendix to the Slavonic Bible and previously in the Romanian Bible as its only inclusion in Bibles outside the Septuagint (well, maybe the Ethiopians have it too - but they also have 2 Enoch in their Bible, which no one else ever had).
I am also reading American Nations by Colin Woodard and have a few books on my shortlist, like God's Englishman by Christopher Hill and Raymond Aron's L'opium des Intellectuels. I also desperately need to read something in German since it's been almost a year.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
