Indeed. *NM* Rebekah Send a noteboard - 22/02/2011 08:00:08 AM
Try some Prussian, Austro-Hungarian, Savoyard, Ottoman, Burgundian, Venetian or Neapolitan writers, or go back farther and read some Lycian, Cilician, Seleucid or Ptolemaic writers. Read an author from Axum or Punt or Cyrenaica, or from Akkad or Assyria.

I do not believe that I have read any Austro-Hungarian writers before, and am reading Schnitzler now and will read Kafka (I've never read any Kafka) after that. Austria-Hungary qualifies.

Oh. I didn't quite understand how it worked. Thank you for clarifying. Now if I can just remember Tashmere - 22/02/2011 12:25:45 AM 687 Views
That sort of challenge actually makes it more difficult for the more well-read readers, I'd think Larry - 22/02/2011 02:48:23 AM 813 Views
Re: Isn't that also the point? To stretch your limits, however far out they might be? Danae al'Thor - 22/02/2011 04:54:26 AM 960 Views
After a while, it becomes much easier to forget which have been read than to remember which haven't Larry - 22/02/2011 05:07:49 AM 687 Views

I have that problem Camilla - 22/02/2011 02:45:11 PM 725 Views
Perhaps I don't make that assumption because I read some unusual books. Tom - 22/02/2011 08:14:42 PM 920 Views
Only that I take you for one of the few people who are more widely-read than I am, that's all *NM* Larry - 22/02/2011 04:20:35 PM 296 Views
