Excellent article-gives me some ideas as to where to proceed after Cicero and Virgil. Thanks for the posting the link, Barry!

I've no doubt extensive reading is very helpful, however each time (this is not the first time) I read this article I feel there is something--as they say--"unreal" about it. Wheelock 40 chapters in 40 days, Lingua Latina 7 times over, followed by Roma Aeterna 7 times over. What shall I say, this was a young man with a lot of time on his hands and a greater language capability then most. Nevertheless, he is quite admirable in that he didn't waste his time at university as many do.
