used book roundup
Jul. 4th, 2010 11:47 amAs we know, I am pathologically unable to resist a library sale. Or a free book.
Which is why I now own four different (Latin) texts of Vergil's Aeneid, dating from 1840 to 2001 (and let's not talk about how many translation). Also, as of yesterday, I have two different OCTs of the Annales (would rather have a Histores, I admit, but what can you do), and about half a dozen new girls' stories, most by the prolific Mrs. L.T. Meade, and including such alluring titles as Naughty Hannah, Miss Nonnentity, and Three Bright Girls.
I started reading the Eclogues in translation, and I really want to read them in Latin -- but of course I didn't bring them, and since I am already juggling Demosthenes, La Princesse de Clèves, and Harry Potter und das Feuerkelch right now, not to mention the omnispresent threat of having to revise my project, that I probably shouldn't add any more books to my "hard" reading.
