After 300 pages, I can declare the book as dry as a Calvinist town on Sunday. Tom Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 01:59:23 PM
The educational value is high enough for me that I am continuing, but listening to the guy talk about how Drenthe refused to send soldiers and only paid half the assessment made, whereas many of the towns in Overijssel were opposed to the State Council as opposed to the States General...well, it is just a bit tedious.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
