I realized I needed to finish those books about Stalin and Soviet writers. Tom Send a noteboard - 23/09/2015 09:26:02 PM

The author keeps referring back to previous chapters (and volumes), so if you don't read the whole thing then you start to forget the context for previous discussions. As a result, I'm finishing Volume 4 of 4 right now and then will finish my Pio Moa book and that one about religious persecution in Spain. And the Iliad. At some point.

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
