Should be volume one

This book seems like it should be the first of a series of books. Mr. Pierce really only gives a high level survey, that leaves the reader longing for a deeper dive and analysis into each of the great books he mentions. I hope for volumes 2-ff.

Great introduction to timeless classics

Title says it all. If you're Catholic (and even if you aren't) you SHOULD know these works.
