It's probably the funniest book I've read in the past 5 years, and really wonderful. I'll post a review when I finish because I just started the other day but I'm now halfway through. After that I'll get back to everything I was reading before work intervened, which is the next book in the history of Italy (L'Italia Littoria), the Marie de France lais, The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson (I read that when I was in the Hell of jury duty at SDNY, but that was because it was cheap and paperback and I didn't mind taking it with me; the story is okay I guess but I have little interest in finishing it right now), and of course there was also that Procopius that I stopped reading a long time ago. At some point I might just declare it officially abandoned.
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
