Well, at least two of those will be reviewed, it seems. Larry Send a noteboard - 02/02/2011 03:53:28 AM
Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales

Boccaccio, The Decameron

Plato, The Republic


I want to read these more than the others. Thus going into them with a review would be helpful. :approve:


Chaucer won't be too difficult to write a commentary upon.
Illusions fall like the husk of a fruit, one after another, and the fruit is experience. - Narrator, Sylvie

The themes may improve. His inability to form any sort of coherent style likely will remain. Ghavrel - 30/01/2011 08:55:10 PM 1101 Views
I disagree. Quite strongly, actually. *NM* Larry - 30/01/2011 09:10:34 PM 556 Views
Well, you're entitled to be wrong. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/01/2011 09:24:55 PM 538 Views

It certainly was the worst of the four Ancient Empires books *NM* Larry - 30/01/2011 04:18:53 PM 532 Views
I'm just intrigued by someone writing about the Hittites. *NM* Rebekah - 30/01/2011 07:15:00 PM 524 Views
There is a much better book on the Hittites, though. Tom - 31/01/2011 02:11:03 AM 1046 Views
I think Camilla ought to read Flight to Lucifer Larry - 30/01/2011 04:42:32 PM 1170 Views
I am doing very well pretending Bloom does not exist Camilla - 30/01/2011 06:54:24 PM 1023 Views

The number of votes for Chaucer is curious Larry - 30/01/2011 04:41:37 PM 1167 Views
I find Chaucer less interesting than Boccaccio *NM* Tom - 30/01/2011 06:50:44 PM 567 Views
I'm divided on the two Larry - 30/01/2011 07:02:32 PM 1054 Views
Well... could be an international readership? jh - 30/01/2011 07:38:51 PM 1132 Views
Very possible, considering 1/3 or so of the blog's readership isn't Anglo-American *NM* Larry - 30/01/2011 09:11:26 PM 551 Views
