[B-Greek] Reading the GNT (Easiest to most difficult books)

I don't think there's a website and even if there were it would be very 
subjective, as notions of "ease" and "difficulty" are by their nature 
individualized.  usually the order is something like (from easiest to 
most difficult)  Johannine epistles, the Gospel of John, the Synoptics, 
the Pauline epistles, the remaining catholic epistles, Hebrews, 1 
Peter.  I leave Revelation off the list because it is dreadful Greek- 
filled with all manner of solepsisms.  It's not difficult because of 
grammar or vocabulary- it's difficult because it's bad greek.

Start with John and end with Revelation- after the other stuff.

Others will of course disagree and have their own views which is only to 
be expected since, as I have already mentioned, your's is such a 
subjective question.

Best,
Jim
