| Library Shh! |
My writing ***** ~soonish~ |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shh! I'm still researching my book. Come back in a while and I'll lend you something...meantime, try the British Library. They're not short of a few books. Blibliomania is excellent, too. I love the Internet Ancient History Sourcebook. For American History nothing tops PBS. Victorian London archive here: it's smashing! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I do love reading. At the moment I'm translating some old Greek stuff into English. It's a bit of a strange hobby but it passes the time. I'm always re-reading Dickens, just to make sure I don't steal even more of his fabulous plots - Bleak House made me cry, since I had to re-write a large chunk of my own novel or else be accused of the most blatent and audacious plagiarism ever perpetrated. Bah! I sorely need something new to read, so must be off to the Central Library in town. Bliss. Books and silence. ** Catullus' poetry in Loeb, Euripides vol I in Loeb (Women of Troy and Hecuba particularly), Plato's Last Days of Socrates in Penguin, also Archilochus' poetry in Greek, really excellent stuff. October 14 2004 Seneca's Epistles on Morality in Loeb, Ainsworth's Jack Sheppard.August 16 2004 |
