JanuarieTimewalker13 "No one can grasp modern life without some knowledge of its origins" re:Latin..from Other Kingdom...Forster has shaken my world up!! I realize I must know more about Mythology, Homer, and Dante. I'm severely lacking!! 9y
JanuarieTimewalker13 A seriously worthwhile read! It's more like a study, bc I am lacking in ancient literary background. So beautifully written. 9y
