If anyone else wants to do a more guided form of this, The Harvard Classics has a 15 minute a day reading guide. This website has the intro and a passable selection of .pdfs to use:

Guide: https://www.myharvardclassics.com/categories/20120612_1

.pdf downloads: https://www.myharvardclassics.com/categories/20120212

Note that the page numbers are for the book pages, not the .pdf pages.

I did it over the pandemic, and yeah, it's really really good. But you do have to get used to older writing styles. The mid 1700s to early 1800s authors really like run-on sentences. Also, Shakespeare takes some getting used to, so pull up a YT video and read along as you listen.
