[B-Greek] Recommendations about how to learn Attic Greek

I would recommend Reading Greek. Because so much of the grammar in the early
sections is familiar, it lets you build up your vocabulary (which is quite
different) and concentrate on the grammar when it is different. I like to
understand exactly how the grammar works, so I keep as many grammar books
[preferably advanced grammars] as I can on my shelf and desktop. Do not
overlook the availability of Greek grammars on the web. Unfortunately, I
have discovered that Classical Greek is as easy as Koine Greek to forget
when life gets too busy and you have to put the Greek books away for a while
 I hope to drag Reading Greek out again soon, as it is a good way to relax
after spending a day trying to sort out the vagaries of anthropological
theories and how to express them clearly and concisely in a way that may
impress an examiner who may not necessarily agree with your position.

Hello all: 
 
Could someone put me on the track of these recommendations, or any other, 
Of how best to pursue a course of Attic Greek, given that: 
 
1. I have been studying Koine 27 years 
2. I need to study on my own and not attend a school somewhere 
 
Thanks!
