Zamenhof presented the Fundamenta Krestomatio as a model of Eo style (modelo de esperanta stilo). This gives the impression that any Esperantist who wants to write good Eo should read that book. But then, is it preferable to read it quite early (that is, as soon as one has an intermediate level of Eo), or after several years of practice in order to consolidate and purify one's style?
Or is the Fundamenta Krestomatio out of fashion and other Eo works should be prefered as models?
