So I guess no one cares enough anymore to even make this an announcement Tom Send a noteboard - 22/06/2015 04:46:15 AM

Personally, I'm getting back to the Iliad after taking a break from it; it's still filled with so many words that are only encountered once (in all of the history of Greek literature) that even after getting halfway in I still have to look crap up. I'll probably take another break but finish it before the end of the year.

I'm also reading La persecución religiosa en España durante la Segunda República (1931-1939) because I figure I should improve my Spanish. I also see more and more how perfidious the Second Republic was - it was violently antireligious, riddled with communists and NKVD agents and wrongly lionized in the West. Franco's victory was certainly the lesser of two evils.

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

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Yeah, we're never going to agree on that. But thanks for the rec anyway, I might read the book. *NM* - 23/06/2015 07:37:29 PM 440 Views
