because you can't listen to NPR all day long...

I spent the evening organizing my books, although many of them are still in stacks on the floor. Greek history in particular is out of control. And I spent about half an hour wandering around because I could have sworn that I owned both volumes of my Epictetus edition.

In the land of meaningless coincidences, I own three English translations of the Odyssey, three editions of the Greek lyric poets and three books on Roman culture by J.P.V.D. Balsdon (I recommend Romans and Aliens, if only for chapter titles like "The Romans and their ghastly bad taste").

So much for that.
