Besides Boethius, what are some great works of Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages?
>Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians, too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books.

If you're into history, I think the Royal Frankish Annals are pretty fun to read in translation. Also things by Bede

That's a meme around here. I don't know of anyone who actually believes that. Ezra Pound says you should learn Ancient Greek and other languages, but he still recommended and made his own translations.
