10/16: finishing

...The Latinist by Mark Prins today.  Alas, I ended up not liking it so much (and that is an understatment).  I wanted to read both it and Will Boast's Daphne in preparation for a Daphne-related discussion I'll be running in November.  In both cases I had noted the novels when they were published but didn't read them at the time because I suspected that they'd rub me the wrong way.  I was right.  Still, I am glad that I read them and got them done pretty quickly--so now I can feel like I've done due diligence on the Daphne front and can also move on to more pleasant reading before falling asleep this evening!
