Starting this next on @SerialReader
Yay new book!
Pléiade are really expensive, bible paper, full on critic edition in the French edition world. People collect them. I kinda do, I like old ones. These are a few of my collection. The Greco-Roman part. The upper dark book is a 1920s Sophocles theatre edition.
My third (and last) special purchase from today‘s FOTL Clearance sale was this 2-volume edition of Herodotus‘ Histories published by The George Macy Company in 1958. Special attention was paid to the cover design elements of GMC books as well the interior pages. I love the credit that reads, “Illustrated and decorated by Edward Bawden” 🙂

It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.

I've previously posted about the oldest book I own so I'll show the 2nd oldest book(s) I own. 😆 The History of Herodotus in four volumes, published in 1791.

My #audiostitching continues, this time with reading for class!
pickI really enjoyed this audiobook.
Wow my review skills have gone down hill. Lol. But this was an enjoyable listen, the audiobook reader David Stimson did a great job.

Littens! I've been so out of the reading loop and in a massive funk, but I'm going to get back into it. I've missed you all terribly!!
Friday night #audiostitching! It's perfect because I'm doing reading for class while enjoying myself with cross-stitch! I've run out of thread for my other project, so I've switched over to this one until I can buy more thread. #audiobooks
My #audiostitching for #LitsyPartyofOne continues! I've made a point of getting some readings for classes, including Herodotus, as #audiobooks for this purpose. 😊
Timodemus, irrationally jealous of Themistocles success over the Persians at Salamis has been mocking Themistocles saying the recognition he has received from Sparta was due only to his being from Athens. Themistocles finally responds: it's true that if I came from Belbina the Spartiates wouldn't have honoured me as they did, but they wouldn't have honoured you, my Fri, even though you come from Athens!"
Nice.

Of all men‘s miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing.
But this I know: if all mankind were to take their troubles to market with the idea of exchanging them, anyone seeing what his neighbor's troubles were like would be glad to go home with his own.
