Latin Class? On my TV Tropes?

 The Cambridge textbooks we used in my Latin class, which I ironically JUST mentioned 2 days ago

[color="#cc8899"]For those who took Latin in high school, one can't help but wonder if the writers of the Cambridge Latin Course textbook thought they wouldn't get their contracts renewed after Book I. Vesuvius blows and everybody dies, Caecilius dying onscreen and his son's fate left in question... until next semester. Also, Book IV had a lot of filler arcs, don't you think? Who cares about Those Two Guys at Bath and random weddings? Get back to Salvius and his evil!
But we have to learn all the grammar first, and the only way we can is through poorly-thought-out side stories!
You think that's bad, the entirety of Ecce Romani book two was filler! (They spend all of it stuck in a ditch.)
But we do get to meet crazy Uncle Titus! That made the whole book worthwhile! The last third of book two involves Titus drinking, drinking, drinking, gambling, drinking, and dying.[/color]

First entry in "Literature"

To note, the books include such amazing sentences as
"The slave-girl pleases the ___ (insert family member word here)"
"The barber cut the man, and much blood flowed"[/COLOR]
