Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
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!
