Learning Classical from Koine

Hello! I'm moderately proficient in Koine (almost all of my exposure is NT/Septuagint), but would really like to become very proficient in Homeric/Classical. This summer, I find myself with a lot of free time and (I think) a good deal of willpower, to the point where I can dedicate two-three hours of study a day to Greek, if not a bit more.

My biggest goal here is to someday really be able to read Classical without constantly stopping to parse words, to be at a place where I can read at a decent speed.

With that in mind, how would you all recommend that I go about learning Classical?

EDIT: Specifically, what texts are good/bad to start with? Is just jumping in and reading a good strategy?
