Originally intended by Professor Frederic M. Wheelock as a sequel to Wheelock's Latin, his classic introductory Latin textbook, Wheelock's Latin Reader, newly revised and updated by Richard A. LaFleur, is the ideal text for any intermediate-level Latin course. You'll find a rich selection of of prose and poetry from a wide range of classical authors, as well as briefer passages from medieval and Late Latin writers, each presented in the Latin in which it was originally written. Useful features include extensive notes; a complete Latin-English vocabulary; maps of ancient Italy, Greece, and the Roman Empire; and numerous photographs illustrating aspects of classical culture, mythology, and history featured in the readings.

This is a neat collection of intermediate-level authentic Latin texts. There's no Caesar in sight, and little of the regular poets one might think of for highschool learners. The level here is consistently difficult. A student who has got through all of the Wheelock's texts including the unedited excerpts at the end, would still need some guidance here from a teacher and a good dictionary. (And one hopes, some additional fun translating Catullus and, yes, even a bit of Caesar, on the side!) But this is a good test of one's skill. Also a nice reminder for students - whether in classroom or on their own - that, on the other side of this text, lie hundreds of authentic Roman plays, essays, histories, and non-fiction books to be (slowly) (very slowly) (verrrrry slowly) devoured.
