The following LitHub article was from last month, but it is a fantastic look at the iconic villains of literature:

Ruthiella Dickens villains are the best literary villains IMO because they‘re all so plausible: Uriah Heep, Mr. and Miss Murdstone, Mr. Tulkinghorn… (edited) 2mo
vivastory @BarbaraBB He's a top contender for me 🔪🍽️ 1mo
vivastory @Liz_M I have yet to read that Shakespeare, but I've heard that from others! 1mo
vivastory @Ruthiella Dickens has some of the best. Bill Sikes definitely comes to mind! 1mo

"It is a strange thing that men will be such enemies to themselves. Wisdom is the principal thing, yet all neglect her. Wherefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her and she shalt promote thee, she shall bring thee to honour when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thy head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"

Book mail

This fabulous edition of John Milton's epic poem came in the mail a few days ago.

The illustrations by Gustave Dore are spot on.

When I purchased this huge tome, I didn't realize the actual size of the book. A pocket book it's not... 🙄😆

But I'm glad I got it, all the same.

I probably won't start this baby for a few weeks until I finish up some of the multitude of books I've started.

"All men see the same objects, but do not equally understand them. Intelligence is the tongue that discerns and tastes them, Knowledge is the Light of Heaven, Love is the Wisdom and Glory of God, Life extended to all objects is the sense that enjoys them. So that Knowledge, Life, and Love are the very means of all enjoyment, which above all things we must seek for and labour after."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"

I don't even remember how this ended up in my library holds. But it is very interesting.
