[B-Greek] Difficulty of reading passages

Jeff,

	I'd suggest John's letters, Paul's, Luke's, and then the general
epistles.
You'll get a variety of answers but I think that's the general perception.
I'd neglected Luke and Acts for many years until this last winter. Having
finished both (with adequate lexical work) I decided to go back and just
'read' both no matter how much I couldn't fill in. I'm particularly taken
with the last ten or so chapters of Acts where the account depicts so many
legal, societal, and military circumstances. The challenge is more than
vocabulary but what do I know? This is just my second time through:-)
	But I couldn't agree more.  Just read, read, read, and then read
some more. Blessings,

I know that a frequent topic of discussion on this list is how best to learn
Koine Greek. I find myself generally agreeing that the more exposure one has
to a language (especially using it), the more natural it will become. Thus,
I would really like to start reading more of it without worrying too much
about getting everything right, or for the purpose of exegesis, etc., but
rather just to read it over and over and over and thus to become very
familiar with it (not unlike the point of the C.S. Lewis passage referred to
earlier on the list).

So again, my question is, what texts
would be good to start out with, and where would I go from there? If anyone
has a "graded" list of difficulty, that would be helpful too.
