My strong recommendation is to spend two or three months on the same subject. You're young, you have plenty of time, you don't need to skip haphazardly between topics. If you want to read about Ancient Greece, read three books on the era in a row. Read The Birth of Tragedy, The World of Homer, and a good tragedy from the playwrights of Athens. If you read in this way your mind will make connections and build structures and grow intertwined roots. There are hundreds and thousands of books worth reading, but more important than picking the perfect book is simply to commit and go slow and settle on a steady course. Otherwise you'll clutch desperately at knowledge and meaning, and find your hand full of dust and dead flowers. That's no good. Take it from one who's been there before.
