What are you currently reading?

Milito! I was starting to think you’d been shipped to Afghanistan or something. lol. how are you?

Greek: Iliad (starting at book one, going till I drop); the Alexander Romance (L-text edited by van Thiel and gamma-text edited by Trumpf at the same time !ouch!)

Latin: Nuthin’ Except for various prefaces to Greek texts, Cat.1 for my 2nd year Latin kids and bits and pieces of Pliny the Elder

English: Joan Aiken, anything I can get my hands on. The Power of Thetis, lots of random philosophy (for a class). Richard Stark’s Parker books, and lots of the Andrew Lang Color Fairy books.

At the moment.

Hey! THOUGHT I recognised your name! :slight_smile:
I’m an ardent fan of Ms. Aiken myself. :slight_smile:

It is my considered opinion that Miss Twite is the coolest character in all of literature. Of course, she is named after a barge; NOT the Queen of Carthage.

Aiken’s stories never get old for me.

Nope - just northern Quebec… which is south of Winnipeg. The geography of Canada never ceases to amaze me… It’s just that in the new trade and the new job, all is much more busy, and I don’t have nearly as much time to touch base… But the work life is MUCH better. As for Afghanistan… maybe next year…

I’m into heavy Latin lit at the moment: Miffa ad mare. Yes, that is Miffy in Latin :slight_smile:. See http://home.wxs.nl/~bornmeer/miffa.htm.
