Specific Books To Go
Apr. 12th, 2010 01:58 pmDo any of these interest you:
From HOMER to MENANDER - Forces in Greek Poetic Fiction. This book has a certain amount of sentimental value. It was inscribed on June 11, 1955 to my father as a high school prize for Best final examination and year's work in Greek III. I don't care enough about it though to hang onto it if'n someone else would actually read it.
The Portable Greek Reader. Again, this has a certain measure of sentimental value, but if'n this sounds like your cup o' tea, I'm happy to give it to you. I'd just like it to go to a good home. (It's inscribed to my father from a friend c. Sept. 30, 1948. He kept very little throughout his life. This is one of the few things. My grandfather (his father) was a classicist for years, so there's that connection as well.)
Also, I seem to have ended up w/two (2) copies of Le Petit Larousse. I'm not really sure I need even one (1) these days and two (2) is definitely unnecessary. The recent one is from 1967. Any students taking French (or others) interested in having this?

Truth Stranger Than Fiction
Dec. 3rd, 2008 08:53 amOf course, truth may also BE fiction, but that's a somewhat different matter. Still, I'd been thinking 'bout the silliness of this possibility, only to wander over to Amazon and realize someone else already had this idea...and published it!
