13yo and I have read the first three parts of The Human Odyssey, Volume 1 covering pre-history through the fall of Rome. I spent yesterday evening dividing the chapters of part four (A.D. 500 - 1400) into reasonable daily chunks. It was slow going, but it was also exciting to see the topics that we'll be covering. The first chapters will be especially fascinating (the Byzantine Empire and the rise and spread of Islam). It's so tempting to start right now! But, July is going to be super busy. Patience, I must have patience.
