It's an excellent book that I love dearly, and I think the HN crowd in particular would take to it like catnip. That said, it's not right for everyone [1]. In particular, the high vocabulary load means that most readers can't simply read straight through it, and the focus on one grammatical concept at a time can feel artificial ("oh, this is the pluperfect chapter"). I also found that there were a few words that I couldn't grasp from context alone and had to search for online, which is fine but dims the magic a bit. https://magisterp.com/2016/10/06/lingua-latina-love-the-textbook-but-is-it-right-for-my-students/ https://magisterp.com/2016/10/06/lingua-latina-love-the-text...
