Damn, I meant to get back to you on this and I forgot. But I don't have any recs for you, I'm afraid. I did all my Latin in the classroom and because of a gap of several years in my uni education, I ended up using two different sets of texts and getting confused since some stuff I never formally covered.

The text I remember was called "Reading Latin" but I'm not sure how to judge if it would be any good to work through on your own.

But if you want to look up Latin words, etc, check out Perseus:

And you can always run things by me, if you like. My fancy degree ought to be good for *something*. *g*
