[B-Greek] Suggestions Please!

I have recently spent quite a bit of time devoted to "diagramming" several 
books of the GNT using a modified version of the "stick" method or 
Reed/Kellogg scheme many of us old-timers used in school. No matter how one 
feels about the pursuit there's no denying the attempt to make heads or 
tails out of the grammatical connections is a worthwhile objective. As a 
side benefit I spend a great deal of time "translating" each book. To me, 
the easiest book of the GNT to English has been James and James would be the 
book I would recommend to someone doing what you are suggesting.
However, to do this in isolation is not going to get you the results you're 
after. Reading, reading, reading is important, no, vital. Read Mounce, he's 
good, read Croy he's good also, but most of all read Greek.
