I just to know which book to do next, all have advantages and disadvantages. So what do you want?
Be sure to VOTE - not just reply to this thread.
Tough choice… I was torn between Greenough’s and Vergil.
Assuming that it follows on from Wheelock, this sounds just the ticket:
Second Year Latin - Greenough - Beginner to Intermediate Latin Reader (thick)
Do you have to be thick though?
Yes a tough choice, I own Gildersleeve ;D and I’m no where close to reading Vergil or Terence. So Second Year Latin-Greenough-Beginner to Intermediate Reader
And just how thick is thick?

Hmm… my guess is that it’s more than 400 pages. ;D
yes, it’s more like 600 meaning that it would be a massive download of around 30 MB.
You post it and I shall download it! 
I picked Vergil, even though I’m not up to that level yet…I’m longing to read him in Latin!

I have no problems with downloading a 30MB document (gotta love high speed connections!), but I’m sure there are people who are using dial-up and such a d/l would take an excruciatingly long time. I would prefer working with one PDF, however, it might be a good idea to offer this one in 3 or 4 smaller parts for those who can’t feasibly d/l it in one fell swoop. Although hd space is cheap, there may also be people using much older pcs with smaller hds and it’s possible they might not have enough space for 30MB at once. I think offering multiple discrete PDFs would make this book available to more people in this situation. They can d/l and work through one small part at a time (or archive it to make space for the next section).
(I realize that it’s possible to divide up a file into multiple smaller downloads, and then have people piece it all together afterwards (for example, using WinRAR), but I think that can cause its own difficulties with requiring people to have some util to do that, nevermind learning how to do it.)
I think I’ll try it with this one.
The book has a natural division between Part 1 - Easy Selections and Part 2 - Gallic War. (not to mention Textkit already has Gallic War)
I can just do each part, along with the notes in the appendix and vocabulary. It would reduce the file size by about 40% I think.
mihi, quamcumque librem legat, primum hominem Jeffjeffjeffum esse dicendum!

Looks like Greenough and Virgil are neck and neck. What happens if we have a tie?
Flip a Roman coin, of course. ;D
Capita aut caudae?
Hey-I understood that!!! 
I must be making progress! ;D
Who voted for Terence besides me?

Me too! Me too! I love it when I can understand Latin. I’m looking forward to the day when I can actually hold a conversation in the Agora.

Not me. I don’t even know what Terrence’s Phormio is. 
Me. I have vague memories of having had to read it in translation as an undergraduate for a course on Ancient Drama, and enjoying it.
If anyone hasn’t yet explored Terence - I think you should. His comedies are sprinkled with little lessons about life that are still very true today. Penguin Classics has a nice Terence edition.
