I'm an autodidact (my whole family is, really), but I don't like to have to take exams, write papers, or attend classes in the evenings...or, heck, even leave the house. My favorite ways to learn are by reading - of course - and by watching

Have you ever watched The Great Courses DVDs before? If so, which one(s)?
