Have heard of people doing this and also inviting the philosopher to make a guest appearance at the end. I now realise I’ve done it myself at graduate level (a class on a book by two then very active philosophers) though without the guest appearance.

Came across this list. 100 must-read German books in English translation. I think I’ve read 16. Aimed as a diverse selection of very good books, rather than ‘literary best’.

Lawyer friend mentioned have to account in terms of ‘billable hours’. If I did that I think I’d have to have three pricing points: ‘premium’ before 11.00, ‘standard’ 11.00 to 4.00, and ‘forget about it’ after 4.00.

Basically being dull, not letting your mistakes hurt you too much, and relying on the younger generation to inject a little passion and flair to get the job done.
