This should keep you busy for a little while and since you've been reading, I'll bet you've come up with a variety of other topics.
Once you've found a the topic to study you'll need a good guide to books about that topic. I'd suggest that you purchase and keep by your side The Complete Homelearning Source Bookby Rebecca Rupp. I find her book the most reliabe when it comes to suggesting good books to go with the unit we're studying. The other resource I keep on hand is the GReenleaf Press catalog. They have put a great deal of work into their business. I find most of the books they list are hard to find unless I order from them but they are reliably accurate in describing what they offer and worth odering from.
