Months and months! In fact, for all of 2020!

Reading from that day's penguin is such a good idea; thanks to those who suggested it and to Steve for doing it. I've just ordered the Arrian as it seemed so accessiblr. I suspect that as we March through the Penguins I will acquire a library to keep me busy for the rest of my life.

Do you like The Landmark Arrian as much as the other "Landmark" volumes?

That was really interesting. Thanks Steve.

You mentioned that you had written a great deal of prose on Arrian and I assume all of the material from this entire March of the Penguins. I would very much like to read what you have written. I was thinking just today about how it would be possible to save your videos so that I could re-listen or refresh as I go through this entire March. It is a time period that I have always been curious about but was consumed by the reading that came with my profession. Have you considered self publishing this material? I honestly have no idea how to go about this, but I will offer to help in anyway that I can. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you might feel relevant so we will both know if I am competent! I absolutely cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed this entire series. Lee

I picked up Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar again, I had to start it from very beginning since I remembered almost nothing out of sixty percent I read sometime last year:)))) I rather enjoy it although I'm a lazy reader and sometimes the necessity of stopping and pondering what the bloody sentence means peeves me:)))

You have such things as commas in this English language of yours?:)))) One of the things they never teach at English language courses. The passage you read made me really self-conscious about my commas in my comments:)
