These are the books and translations we will use this semester. I highly recommend purchasing a hard copy of each of these books so that you can make notes in your book and we will all have uniform page numbers for reference. However, if there is a need to avoid purchasing books, many of these have a free version indicated. If you have the Harvard Classics volumes, you may use those rather than purchasing the required reading where the required reading is included in the Harvard Classics volumes.
