This works. I have used something like it (slips instead of cards) for many years. Notes have been and continue to be a source of reflection, discussion, invention, and inspiration for a lifetime. Thank you Amy for sharing.
If you look closely at those photos of Adler, you'll notice that one is in context and the other is the same image of him cut and pasted onto a set of books.
Those who are into this broader topic may also appreciate Alex Beam's book "A Great Idea at the Time: The Rise, Fall, and Curious Afterlife of the Great Books". A while back I remember going though Lawrence Principe's Great Courses lecture series on the History of Science to 1700 which I suspect might help contextualize a tour through the great courses.
I'm curious if you're adding any other books that Adler et al left off their list?
Any advice for someone who, like myself, is multiple years into the great books and hasn't organized any notes? Some books have been extensively marked up, some not at all.

Louis Menand had an interesting article on great books courses recently: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/12/20/whats-so-great-about-great-books-courses-roosevelt-montas-rescuing-socrates.

You are all brave souls! And dedicated.
