Free lance writer and translator. Author of "A Sense of Order; [translations from French, Greek, Spanish, and Hawaiian"; "Greek and Hawaiian Terms of Authority and Emotion in the Hawaiian Bible"; and others.
About my libraryA collection of about 1,500 titles in English, Greek, Latin, Spanish, and French; with a smattering of Italian and Portuguese; few or no other languages, except for translations of the Bible. Small colleciton of U.S. and U.K. poets, mostly post-1900.
I rarely acquire any book that is available in most public libraries, unless it is something that I would want to consult frequently. Thus, though there is much on literary subjects, there are few novels, except some out of print ones. I am not, in general, much interested in rare or scarce books, or in first editions -- only interested in the content. Besides literature, my main interests are history (mostly Western and Polynesian), and religion and history-- with or without emphasis on the interfaces between those two.

I notice that you are also having problems with "what should you borrow?". Do you have "normal" recommendations? As the "what should you borrow" is just a subset of that filtered by the other member's library.
You could also check that the "Include in recommendations" checkbox is ticked for at least one collection. Otherwise it will not have any books to use for recommendations!

If the wishlist is the problem (which I doubt), you can test it by using power edit to temporarily move all your wishlist items into another non-wishlist collection, wait 24-hrs for the cache to clear, and see if you still have these problems. I can only suggest contacting Tim otherwise. Very peculiar.

At one point, the Illustrious Feghoot was called in to help a struggling humanoid race on Phi-Omega 9. Their problem was desperate indeed. You see, virtually all of the landmass of the planet was composed of a series of very high mesas and plateaus. The rain, rather than falling on the top of the plateaus, would be expended on the sides. This made farming virtually impossible, so the hapless humanoids were trapped in the Stone Age, neither able to farm effectively nor develop the technology to irrigate the high mesas.
Of course, the poor aliens called upon Ferdinand Feghoot, the illustrious time traveler and philanthropist, to aid them.
Upon arriving, Feghoot looked over the situation and immediately hit upon a solution. He instructed the aliens to dig a trench up the side of the closest plateau, and sent off to Earth for 90 tons of pickles. Once the aliens had ceased digging, Feghoot had them lay the pickles side by side, end to end, along the entire length of the trench. Immediately the water began to flow up the trench and onto the plateau.
The aliens were astounded. "We knew you were a brilliant man, but this is beyond our wildest dreams. We do not understand, though, why the water flows uphill simply because of the presence of pickled cucumbers. What makes this amazing thing occur?"
Feghoot, with a condescending but genial air, replied, "Simple, my boy. We've known it on Earth for centuries. Indeed, every school child knows that, 'dill waters run steep.'"

You marked my crime novel PELHAM FELL HERE to-read. My new short story collection SMOKING ON MOUNT RUSHMORE might also interest you. It has 16 new and selected short stories from my past decade of writing and publishing. Most are crime fiction. It's available on Kindle. Thanks for reading my fiction.
Best regards,

Hope you have a wonderful holiday. You probably don't have snow (LOL) but I am getting (am at) to the age when I could do without the stuff. Pretty to look at but it has to be shoveled, sanded, boots put on, etc etc - to much!

Yes, it is early to bed tonight for me. It was too close for too long and the thought of waking up in the morning to a R. win kept me up until it was secure.
It looks like it is mostly the two of us on the thread, but others do pop in so I think we should keep going. Besides, none of the other "games" have caught my fancy yet. This one actually makes me go look for someone once in awhile. Have learned a few interesting tidbits here and there. I vote to keep going!

Yes, I don't at all request trying out something. Just didn't work as we'd thought. Although I wonder if it would have been more interesting if more people were playing. (But still, the game isn't right for me.)

I have put Janette Turner Hospital's book [Orpheus Lost] on my wishlist. It looks amazing. I will be interested in what you think of it. Mary Beth

I'm confused about your comment about "Even Less Interesting Book Titles," because I'm not sure I saw it (your comment), and when I looked at the site tonight, I was happy to see that two entries had been added.
If I missed something, please let me know.
I see you are interested in Ancient History. Did you see my entries in the topic, History from 300,000 feet? I think that the lack of response to my most recent post is because I added a couple of links to multi-page documents. (They were attached for the photos, but who knows if I shut down my own issue about the [Mummies of Urumchi] with too much detail?)
Best regards.

LHi Roland, I noticed that you added a book titled, Bright Earth,Art and the Invention of Color, How did you like that? Have you read it yet? I have recently begun using watercolors, a new experience for me. I should probably obtain more books on art beyond the usual instruction books, Do you do any paintng yourself? :-) mb

Even with a Mac, you should be able to use Yahoo search without joining up. At www.yahoo.com, just type your search in the field at the top of the screen. I've also begun using www.bing.com, Microsoft's search engine. Google's becoming a bit too nosy for me, as well! Neither of them require membership, nor does ask.com, but I don't like their answers as well.

Thank you for adding mine anyway!

Thanks for the reply! I guess I am interested in the Hawaiian language because my mother was raised in the Gaeltacht and her entire education was in Irish. I always wonder how successful those programs are in restoring the language, not very, I'm afraid. It's a shame (to me, at least) that so many languages die so quickly. It was my impression, when I was in Hawaii that it was commonly spoken 100 years ago. It's very kind of you to offer getting in touch and I hope I'll be able to take you up on it. Hawaii is an amazing place. Oh, I will definitely look up your wife's work!
Thank you again, Mary Ellen

"I notice that the "favorite Book Stores listed in your profile include to that specialize in Biblical publications. Must be easier to obtain such material there than here." Well, I am just too lazy to list all the other bookstores in Basel and around, and these two were not listed, so I wanted to give them a place... I won't know if it is easier to obtain material over here. Okay, Basel has a long Christian history. Have you ever heard of the Pilgermission St. Chrischona? A theological training college, founded in 1840. They trained also ca. 200 young men who were sent to Texas (and from there in most US states). They were partly responsible for founding and maintaing the German speaking Lutheran churches and synods back then. But with WW I the German speaking personal wasn't much liked anymore.

Zeitgeist stats on how languages would be about the language in which books you have catalogued have been written. This would be based on the language set at the book-level data.
The translation guidelines that I sent you are to do with completely different sets of LT pages, whole copies of the LT site, presented in different languages. These are useful for people who do not have English as their first language and still want to use LT to catalogue their library.
The translation of all of the user interface, all the buttons, all the notices, all the tabs (for example, the 'Home', 'Profile', 'Your books', 'Add books', etc at the top of every page) are done by members.
I just thought that it might be something you would enjoy doing, but of course, there is no obligation on you to do so.

I wanted to leave you a note to let you know that my husband and I were in your neck of the woods last week. We visited Hawaii for the first time and we really loved it. We visited Oahu, Maui, and the Hawaii. We were awed by the beauty and the wonderful people. I am interested to learn more about Hawaii's past and present culture, do you have a book to recommend? I got this small book that I thought was great called Historic Lahaina. It explained a bit about the history of the town and has great photos. I would like something in that vein if you know of any. I see you wrote a book about the Hawaiian language. How many people speak Hawaiian? Where is it spoken? Do they teach it in school? Sorry for so many questions, we just wanted to know. You're lucky to live there!

You're right, the current co-author challenge is a toughie. Will and Ariel Durant are out, as are Mary Matalin and James Carville because they're married despite retaining different surnames. Hence the only two I've thought of so far are "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" (because it's credited on the cover as "co-written" by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith) and "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" (Austen and Ben Winters). I'll keep thinking, but if you can find another three, feel free to complete the pentad with those two.

Nicholas' mother was the sister of British Queen Alexandra, the mother of George V. The Empress Alexandra was the daughter of Princess Alice, herself a daughter of Queen Victoria, thus making Edward VII her uncle, and cousin to the Emperor Wilhelm, on her mother's side; and equally a direct descendant of Queen Victoria. The Emperor Wilhelm was a son of Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, also named Victoria, who married Crown Prince Frederick of Germany. Nicholas and Wilhelm were not each other's first cousin, but they were second cousins, once removed, as each descended from Frederick William III, King of Prussia, as well as third cousins, as they were both great-great-grandsons of Tsar Paul I of Russia.

Given you read my spiritual suspense thriller THE LAST DAY, I wanted to let you know that my new book THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD & EVIL was released last week by MacMillan.
Publishers Weekly says: "Kleier's undeniably gripping second spiritual thriller is bound to provoke just as many arguments as his controversial first novel, THE LAST DAY. THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD & EVIL is the first of a trilogy, and Kleier's many fans will only hope they won't have to wait long for the next installment."
If you enjoyed LAST DAY, I think you'll find KNOWLEDGE an even more engaging read.

I couldn't remember the word, canto being anywhere on this book, so I had to go get it off the shelf. (Thanks!)
The word is on the cover but is not part of the title. Given that others might be confused as well, I inserted the following in "Comments" as an edit. I think it covers your questions.
-----
First leaf, after the cover: "Canto is a paperback imprint which offers a broad range of titles, both classic and more recent, representing some of the best and most enjoyable of Cambridge Publishing."
Preface. Introduction. Essays discussing the following, Nature, Sad, Wit, Free, Sense, Simple, Conscience and Conscious, World, Life, I Dare Say, At the Fringe of Language. Index.
343 pages

Although I didn't note it in the Comments, C.S. Lewis collected information from a series of his lectures to serve as the core of the book. I hope this helps! If not feel free to check back with me. BTW, I see you've added my collections to your throng of "interesting libraries". Thank you! Of course, you may be taking that back once I've uploaded everything.

I appreciate the close reading and the questions. I actually responded to this immediately after it was posted, and then assuming it had been read, deleted the response. It since occurred to me that not everyone is up on LT as often as I am. So...
That Ono sentence is as I intended it. Ono’s writing plays around with sequence and POV. A character can be simultaneously in the first and third person.
I’ve killed the sneeze (the idea was a fictional big bang). The chapter now ends differently.
There is a little bay in LA named Mother’s Beach. Young mothers bring their toddlers there because it is safe. One every couple of years, a school of sharks shows up and spend several weeks in the bay. Fortunately, they are leopard sharks (some grow to 5-6 feet), harmless to people. You can stand in the water and the sharks will circle you. Here’s the kicker: the sharks are mostly mothers and their young. The sharks travel to Mother’s Beach because there are no predators. It’s safe.
You’re right. Ono does know that Hugh is lying.
Excellent point about “I loved you and my children.” I’ve changed it to I loved you and our children.
The story now begins in the past (the 1994 drowning), shifts to the present, the Huddle’s bookstore scene, and stays in the present (except for the scenes in Ono’s current novel).
The revision is at http://www.willcall.org/mothers.pdf
Heartfelt thanks for the interest and comments.

I'm surprised too at how little we learn of Byzantium – I think I went through my whole school education knowing it only as a word in the romantic Yeats poem. We certainly don't hear of it as the preserver of Graeco-Roman culture after the fall of Rome.
It's interesting that your Celtic connections lead you towards Lowland Scots as well as Gaelic. I'm not a Gaelic speaker (one day, when I have time ...), but there's a lot of cooperation in academia amongst scholars of Lowland Scots, Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic. I gather that Donegal Irish is closer to Scottish Gaelic in some ways – there's a major difference in word stress between the north and south of Ireland, so e.g. the name O'Cahan in the north, with stress on the Ca, gives O'Kane, while in the south it's Ó Catháin with stress on the áin.

I find myself highlighting and making notes on your notes. They really get me thinking. The bookstore scene was published last summer in Rose & Thorn Journal, and the scene of the boys lost to the ocean will be published in the next issue of nthWORD Magazine. Until you suggested it, I couldn't see how I could put together a longer excerpt that would hold together. But looking again at the first version, I saw how I might jump around in time but still have a longer coherent short story of about 7,000 words (25 pages). I've put it together and posted it at http://www.willcall.org/swim.pdf. I'm sure it needs a lot more work, but I hope it reflects the scenes that you don't want me to lose (despite what happens in the full novel).
I laughed at the "OMG. Complicated is an understatement." Yes. My emphasis on keeping MB fairly linear is that that Ono's novel isn't. I'm feeling fairly clear-headed today, so I'll find a quiet table at Starbucks and try sorting out MB using those strategies of the linguists.

Thanks for delving into the revision. I've changed the beginning many times, and I thought I had finally solved it with the latest, but you've got me reconsidering. With the first version, I jumped around in time (and place), and I thought that disrupted the flow. The revise starts in the past but moves forward chronologically, except for the excerpts from Ono's novel (more on this below). But I see what you mean about rushing into and out of those chapters (my instinct is to leave puzzles or questions as you put it, but if they're losing the reader--too many questions to be answered--I'll have to change that).
Yes, originally chapters 1 & 4 were merged, with Hugh, while trying to drown himself, flashing back to the surfing deaths of his sons. Again, I was afraid to disrupt the chronology. But perhaps there's enough natural emotional flow to justify it. It's comments on things like this that are so valuable.
You think that the bookstore scene is strong enough to open with?
I’m glad that you think the chapters after the first four or five start to flow. I believe that’s where you found problems in the first version, and I revised heavily there (the aftermath of Hugh’s attempted suicide, the students, the visit to his former in-laws).
I do want the overall effect to be understanding and forgiveness for Hugh (life entails risk), but I want the same for Kazuki Ono, and this is where I’ve run into numerous problems. I've got to burden you with some plot here. Hugh’s sons didn’t die in the ocean. They were taken by Ono, because he thought that Hugh was putting them in risky situations that would eventually cause their deaths. Ono took the boys to Japan to protect them, but not a year had passed when the boys were killed in a car accident in Tokyo. Ono has lived with this ironic tragedy and his terrible guilt for 14 years. Ono will reveal the truth in the book he is writing (Fingal’s Cave), a fictionalized version of Hugh’s life. The book’s excerpts are in the Ono POV chapters of MB. In Ono’s book, Hugh becomes Yuudai; Takumi and Hitoshi become Brent and James. Ono hopes to finish the book in Los Angeles and hand the manuscript to Hugh. The book is Ono’s apology, after which he will take his own life.
Although Ono knows plenty about Hugh, he is unaware that Hugh is also bent on taking his own life. Ono is also unaware that Hugh has begun to suspect the truth about his son’s disappearance—that his sons are still alive (this is the engine that drives the narrative). Hugh will twice experience his sons’ deaths—or (if I can pull it off) he will not experience his sons’ deaths at all.
This sounds impossibly complex to me, so I can imagine you frowning, perhaps grimacing, at the above. Am I trying to write something that can’t have a natural life flow?
You suggest that forewarning the reader of the complexities through something like a premonition might help. That appeals to me. At what point in his life would Hugh have this premonition?
I’m so grateful for your interest and help. Your grasp of the underpinnings of fiction is impressive.
Best,
Alex

I have to get back to you through the medium of Roland Perkins, because I'm not sure who you are (I see the tag "Lei’s books," among Roland's tags, but that doesn’t tell me much. An anagram? Anyway, I question my own identity half the time, so I won’t quibble about yours). I was surprised by and grateful for your response to the partial of Mother's Beach. You're the first reader to really dig into the text and get at some of the things I'm trying to do, however unsuccessfully. I’ve been struggling with this story for four years, mostly trying to address the problems that you point out. Really excellent analysis and suggestions—I’ll need some time to think them through. I’ve revised a lot since I posted that partial, and I think I’ve solved some problems but others remain. Clarity, right. Your comments about the humor and writing are heartening.

My only experience with Facebook is that I registered once so that I could view photos my daughter had posted and I felt violated by the bombardment of Friends requests and the fact that the website stole my address book information without my permission. I've never been back there, so I don't really know how it works.
LT has a much more civilized system of contacts, it seems. Much more control goes to the individual user. I have few "friends" here, because I tend to want to note libraries, not persons. I've accepted some friend offers, especially when it appears that we have things to discuss in depth. Newcomers, I think, sometimes use it incorrectly; but everyone finds their own comfort level. I like the tiered contact system, but I still crave a "Notebook" format where I could write notes to myself about who the person is and why I've got them noted on my profile page.
Same thing for threads and messages. If I could categorize in my own "Notebook" it would be much easier to find old material that I want to find again.
I'm completely happy with bumping into so many fine people on the discussion threads, and over time relationshps of a sort develop. For instance I just discovered that MrAndrew is my father!

You may want to check out Dennis Tedlock's beautiful translation of the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the ancient Maya.
Your wish list amazes me. I always have quite a few books on my list, but I try to keep it short, since I seem to continuously pick up al kinds of stuff that I never knew I wanted.
Best regards,
Magrid

Thank you for your interest in my library. I have been exploring your profile page, and I am struck by several things. We share only 21 titles, yet your tags reflect many books on history, culture and religion, which are topics of more than passing interest me as well. Of the titles we share in common, what jump out at me are The Great Chain of Being and The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influental Persons In History.
Also one can't help but notice the large number of authors you have tagged as favorite. Perhaps you are using that feature for ease in accessing author pages, but I think of "favorite" as a limiting concept, so to see so many on the list suggests a different approach. The same comment with regard to your favorite libraries.
Obviously, you are more scholarly than I am. I'm a former librarian but my interests are in history primarily, and the history of religion in the West -- really since the Christian era.
At any rate, I'm pleased to see your library, and I'll be paying attention now.
Best wishes,
Suzanne (Poquette)

The Outlander by Diana Gabaldon with an L.T. rating of 4.39.
2nd Quarter): April 1st -- June 30th.
Bleak House by Charles Dickens with an L.T. rating of 4.27.

Come to think of it, some years ago -- more than a few -- there was a Major Event at the launch of a new translation into Afrikaans to replace the 1934 model. The language has always changed rapidly, despite the efforts of the Akademie to prevent any change, and so I could well imagine that 1934 Afrikaans would be more opaque to a 1990s YA than King James English is to us. But I'm actually the wrong person to ask. AliciaG (a new Dragoneer) would be much better placed to give you an answer, and I'd suggest you PM her with this query.

If you want a copy, I'd suggest contacting the Bible Society -- presumably there's one in Hawaii -- and asking them to ask their South African counterpart for the necessary. Otherwise our local would-be Amazons should be able to supply: kalahari.net (fast but a tad more expensive) or loot.co.za (slow but cheap). A third option would be the online store of our major chain bookseller: exclus1ve.co.za (the most expensive of the 3).
Hope this helps

I have only been puzzling over Latin for about 6 years now.
Apparently, I have a lot more studying to do.
I used to have keyboard shortcuts for accent or diacritical marks.
Now, I rarely use them while "talking" on the internet, unless absolutely necessary.
posted by SecondChances at 9:44 pm (EST) on Jan 1, 2011
I am to understand, you have been reading Latin for 70 years?
My quotation in Latin: Una lingua numquam satis est
In English: But one language is never close enough
This is probably a rough translation, but not too far from the verbiage.
I can't break down the translation from "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin", word for word, however I can try to emulate the phrase.
"numerum angelorum insultavi potest in capite acus"
My grasp is this:
'how many' is numerum (numerosus for many, the number of or a tally + the elative)
As for 'dance' there is insultavi translating to "dance/trample on"
'Angels' is hard to translate as well; I don't have an exact translation. There is angeli which is rooted in Italian and my Latin word of angelorum derived from 'Opus Angelorum' which roughly translates into "the work of angels".
'can' translates into potest
'on the head' translates into: in capute
'needle' or 'pin' translates into: acus
If I string it all together I get "numerum angelorum insultavi potest in capite acus"
As for Some Guy, he jokes around a lot it seems, so I pay closer attention to his posts to try and catch the witticism.
Happy Reading!

I was interested in your comments on Ward-Perkins and the conclusion of 'decline'. Apart from his interesting theological commentary, I thought that O'Donnell in 'The Ruin of the Roman Empire' put forward interesting alternatives to traditional understanding of 'decline' and 'barbarian invasions'.

I notice that you have marked my library as 'interesting library'. I am very interested to note the number of titles that we share in our library. Our interests touch base in a number of diverse areas - theology, languages and Roman history amongst them. On that latter topic, I have noticed that you have recently acquired:
Chronicle of the Roman Emperors: The Reign-by-Reign Record of the Rulers of Imperial Rome (The Chronicles Series) by Chris Scarre
Is it any good?
A recent reading of mine in this area has been:
The Ruin of the Roman Empire
O'Donnell, James J. 2009 Profile Books (2009), Edition: Reprint, hardback, 436 pages 9781861979353
Do you know it? I found it very good. It had some particularly interesting commentary about the historical implications of the Monophysite/Trinitarian split at Chalcedon in addition to its thorough treatment of post-Constantinian Rome.

I played baseball for Doc Sweeney at Woburn High during the late 60's. Though I spent the majority of my time on JV. I graduated in 69. Doc's older brother is "Butch" who was still playing on my pool team at 90. He just had to "retire" from playing this fall. He also played for the Cubs.
My Dad was also a leading bowler in the city during the 50's and 60's. He was an active member of the Towanda Club (which is still around- since 1894)as am I.
Sad, my Dad kept a scrapbook of those Cubs days. I think after he died my mother threw it out. As a child I loved looking through that scrapbook.

According to my text, dialect is something that we all still have, with Standard American English (SAE) being the prestige dialect of the US for media, business, and education. That was news to me, as I thought dialect was regional, like the accent. So as you said, they aren't synonymous. It just surprised me that whatever we hear essentially is dialect, with the regional variations being considered a 'semantic' dialect by word choice and not by audible traits.
You know, I've taken many English classes in college, almost all, and this Linguistics has been the only one that has really thrown me off. Learning the IPA language was a nightmare, and when I do the phonological exercises it looks like I'm having a stroke. Tough stuff!
Anyway, nice chatting with you! Amy

As far as the other "what's his face" has to be slang. I can't verify it, googling didn't help me either, but it seems like a sloppy way to address an individual. Face and name can be linked as identity, but using face instead of name isn't really acceptable. Maybe it originates when someone is trying to remember another person, visualizes their face, but not their name, and so says "you know, what's his face" as if that would remind you of the name. Not sure.

I know in you last post in The Haunted Soda you said The situation'd
become so theological, I decided to continue with Wicker Man Sacrifices
to Goddess even though I realize theological has more to do with whether
or not God exists, whether the stories in the Bible are true and actually
happened like they say they happened,etc. Rather than continue along those
lines I chose to take it in a different direction. I have seen the 1973
version of The Wicker Man several times on tv and have also recorded it as
well. And I have also seen the version of The Wicker Man with Nicholas Cage
too. I prefer the original version of the movie.

Maybe I'm just a little bit paranoid at times however sometimes I do get the
feeling that I'm not that popular in LT. You know sometimes I do use the /
between words and it still counts as five words. It's just a feeling I have
that if I ever tried to do the same thing people would jump all over me and
gang up on me. You'll notice that sometimes I try thinking outside of the
box for The Haunted Soda and will try to be a little bit witty and funny
about what I say if the opportunity arises.
I don't know if other people in The Haunted Soda see it exactly the same
way I do. I've been wondering what is gonna happen once The Haunted Soda
officially comes to an end. Will they start up The Haunted Soda II? Kind
of a sequel to The Haunted Soda or will it be entirely different? And I
also try to take The Haunted Soda in a much different direction than
someone else might try to do at the time. Usually as a rule I'm very
impulsive and will just type the first thing that happens to "Pop"
into my head at the moment. Though sometimes you'll notice I'll go
back and change it because I thought of something entirely different
and original that strikes me as being very witty and funny at the time
I get to laughing out loud. I've often wondered if anyone else ever
feels the same way about what I've written too? If they seem to think
it's very witty, funny & original by Beatles1964. Sometimes my sense
of humour is a little bit warped and out there. Wouldn't you agree?

You did not miss a book written by Thomas Merton (When the trees say nothing), but one of the many books compiled and edited by others (Kathleen Deignan)after his death.
I read a lot of Alan Watts when I was a teenager, along with Hesse, Huxley, Isherwood, etc. (You know how one thing leads to another.)As folks we relearn the same truths in greater depth all our lives...but in the end mountains are still mountains, only more so. My only caveat to Watts is that many times people read him as if his early "american" reading of Eastern religions, is anything except an early "american" reading.
While the same observation has been made of Merton's interpretation of Zen, and a great deal of ink has been spent on D.T. Suzuki's presentation of Zen. I believe that Merton got the marrow of Zen. I am not sure that Watts did.

I live 30 miles from "Spiegel Grove" where The Rutherford B. Hayes presidential library is located. I have a copy of "Hayes of the 23rd." his Civil War record & I read the Hayes diaries when I worked at the Ida Rupp Public library in Port clinton. The Birchard library in Fremont OH probably has a copy but I don't know if it is circulating. I would suggest you contact the Birchard Public Library in Fremont or the Hayes Presidential library, there should be a Web site for the latter.
Although Tilden never officially said that he would withdraw Union troops from the South, because he was a Democrat, everyone just assumed he would. Yes our electoral college system does make it easy for those who would like to tip the scales in their favor.
I have read 1876 by Gore Vidal and another more recent book on the "stolen"election, I just realized that around here, Hayes is memorialized more as a war hero than a president. His wife was known as "Lemonade Lucy" because she refused to serve liquor at the White House.

So do you find that having a knowledge of Ancient Greek is helpful or otherwise when trying to learn the modern version? It's something I've often been tempted to try but I wasn't sure whether it would actually help or just confuse things. I suppose the logical answer would simply be to spend that extra time on my Modern Greek. I must say I don't find it much help knowing any 'modern' when it comes to reading ancient inscriptions or even Katharevousa - I can pick out the odd few words but I'm generally left feeling as confused as everyone else and I really would like to be able to figure them out.

As a 13 year old, I left for summer camp when he was 7-7, and when I came home he was 17-7. That was the year he finished 27-10 with the fifth-place Phillies, with a 1.97 ERA.
All that washed away my disappointment at the departure of Wise. The year before he was traded for Carlton, he'd pitched a no-hitter and hit two home runs in that game. The he had another two-homer game later that year. I knew not of Steve Carlton. Who knew he was destined to be one of the finest left-handers in baseball history? I just knew we were losing a hero.
Carlton never made me forget Wise, but he put a balm on the injury!

About Petrarch, that book was thought to have been written by him (at the time it was published). Later the paternity of the book is in doubt, especially because it contains the narration of facts that happened after the author died. Well, at least something was added by someone else, who knows, maybe the editor. Unfortunately that book is not in great conditions but besides the first 2 or 3 pages it's easily readable.

I am curious what you find interesting about my library.

There is a program found by going to Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map which comes up with a grid of characters, and a choice of fonts, too. All you do is choose, by "selecting" and "copying" and then you can paste.
The acute accent over an "e" looks like this: "é", right? Now, I am hoping that this works in Library thing in the comments! I know it does when I want to spell a foreign name for a book's author or title, etc. It's even neat for non-Latin letters, so that I can write about King Ælfred, for example. Try it! It's fun.

Yes, I thought that was what pagans originally meant too - country folk. Regarding the stance of Philosophy to Christianity, some steeped in Philosophy accepted it (perhaps surprisingly, neoplatonism often seemed the royal road to acceptance) while many did not.
To me, the City (i.e. civilization) always rises on myth, not philosophy. Therefore, my prediction that a new extra-philosophical religion rises is descriptive, not normative. It is, in my mouth, a prediction, not a prophecy.
Can Christianity survive the coming religious upheaval? Don't know. Perhaps if it returns to its gnostic roots via a 'third testament' based on a 'new age' of the Holy Spirit... But that really doesn't look very likely at this point.
Since we share an interest in late antiquity what do you think of Tardieu's conjecture that the exiled neoplatonists gathered around Simplicius ended up in Harran? I wonder how long a neoplatonic school might have lasted there?
You said, in your 'About my library' section, "I am not, in general, much interested in rare or scarce books, or in first editions -- only interested in the content." That describes my library too. - Used paperbacks whenever I can find them...

A hopefully helpful hint: You transposed some letters in "history" in the last paragraph of your profile.

Oh. I see the problem now. Your touchstone goes to a book entered by someone with a private library who entered the editor in the author field. And in your own library, you have entered your book with your great-grandfather's name in the author field. So they are showing up as two different works. On the book in your library I see the review. On the book in the other library, I see the cover and the link to the conversation in the Fifty States Challenge group. I do not know how to combine the two books into one work, so I'm going to ask the Combiners for help. OK. Done: http://www.librarything.com/topic/69216#1391646 . Now, hopefully, they will be able to make that combination. When you see a cover picture show up for the book in your own library, it shows that they were able to do so.
After they get combined, it would be nice to see a book description (maybe there is a description on the back cover which you could enter?). And also CK about the book. On books like this, I especially like to read the Dedication, First Words, Last Words, Important Places, Quotations, etc. Perhaps seeing that kind of information will whet the appetite of others to read the book!

You said:
"[Three Years a Soldier] by Perkins (,) George* already has a short review on its page. (If Iʻm understanding rightly what you mean by "its page". It is about half way down the page, following the time-honored "...not enough copies...to evaluate" statement, which almost everything Iʻve looked up seems to have. Certainly true in this case. I know of only 4 copies, counting my own, that are owned by individuals. Then there is the Woburn MA Public Library, and, probably some larger libraries in Massachusetts, and in libraries specializing in the civil War.
*Clicking on Perkins George, you donʻt get my great-grandfather, but another George Perkins, so click on hte title."
~and~
"... the blue for the title didnʻt come through. I guess you would have to go the [rolandperkins] member page."

I am shocked and humbled to have someone with your background find my library interesting. Thank you. I am very interested in Greek writing, mostly so far the NT. Right now, working more in Hebrew with Isaiah. I look forward to engaging you directly and I hope in some of the groups.
Thanks,
Richard

Wearing a different mask, I am reading the Mahabharata slowly and, insofar as possible, completely. We have a group here for it: Mahabharata Anyone, not very active at the moment because we have been snagged by that very snag you mentioned.
The Mahabharata has, all of it, been translated, but not necessarily well. Buitenen took it on for the University of Chicago Press; but he died. I have read the three complete volumes that he did, taking me through book 5, the book just shy of the one that contains the Bhagavad Gita. Chicago claims that it is going on, but it is taking its time. Meanwhile The Clay Sanskrit Library has picked up the challenge. I have the first volume of book 6 containing the Bhagavad Gita and am awaiting the publishing of the second volume in August. In the Buitenen translation it is readable and glorious.
I first saw the Buitenen translation when Borders first came to Hawaii in Waikele and was good. It took me until this year actually to try to read it, and I was into in a snap.
This library which you find interesting is the remnant of a wish list. My wish list is now mostly on the Barnes and Noble web site, so this list will fade away after awhile. I'm keeping the mask, however, for talking about Hawaii, Alcoholics Anonymous, and other things that it might be better not to have tied to my real name.
Best regards,
Specto

I'm consumed with wonder that you would find my library interesting. While I love it much too much, my reading defines my wide and shallow nature. If I had unlimited money, I would order Black Athena now. When would I read it? - probably no time soon. At any rate, I look forward to reading what you have to say here.
