Midsummer Night's Dream | William Shakespeare

pick

I have now officially read everything this man wrote. I think this one is my favorite. Years ago when I read all of the other plays (AP English class teacher who only thought the bard was worth teaching) loved all his work but this one. Color me confused by that. Anyhow another classic has been read by me this year #theclassics

peanutnine This is my favorite of his as well! I can't believe your teacher taught them all but this one, how strange! 3y

KristiAhlers @peanutnine right? The guy was so weird. He‘d eat granola bars and get so worked up he‘d spray anyone dumb enough to sit in the front row. Needless to say we all tried to cram into the back of the classroom 3y

The Scarlet Letter: a romance | Nathaniel Hawthorne

As someone who prefers solitude and someone who hates disagreement, this quote serves as a powerful reminder to me that even people I don't understand have something to offer that may enrich my life if I allow it. #serialread #reread #theclassics #celebratediversity

The Greek and Roman Myths: A Guide to the Classical Stories | Philip Matyszak

I can't wait to get into this book as soon as I've gotten down my priority TBR this month. It's getting closer to the end of summer break for me and I am overly excited to start my 2nd year of uni. You have no idea. The closer it gets the more and more classics I'll been reading in prep so 🙌🙌🙌 #classicist #theclassics #mythology #greekmyths #romanmyths #epicreads #booklover #bibliophile

I-read-and-eat I love this series of mythology books. I have yet to buy this one but thorougly enjoyed the norse and Celtic one. They are quite good and well informed. Curious to know what you think about it! 7y

Sophoclessweetheart @I-read-and-eat I have read this since posting this and posted a review here I believe? 💁🏼 I've heard the Celtic one is rather poor in comparison but this one is brilliant and very informative and interesting without being basic like some of the other Greek and Roman myth books I've read. 7y

I-read-and-eat @MythicReads I did see your update now, so sorry I didn't notice it before🙈 I am pretty sure I'll get this one then! (Starting my Classics master next year, never hurts to be a bit more informed) I quite liked the celtic one tbh. But I am very familiair with both the material and the author so that might help. (I majored in Celtic studies.) The material is very limited for Celtic studies and you need to make some bold claims at times 1/1 7y

I-read-and-eat In onder too say anything at all. Having said that, the book could be more organised and the author has some views on the material that I do not share. Good, readable, books on celtic myths are hard to come by and this one is quite alright 😉 PS. I love your pictures! 7y

Sophoclessweetheart @I-read-and-eat I'm my second year of my BA in Classical Studies. It's a lovely subject to study but my focus is on Ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian history and mythology. I have a passing interest in medieval history and the dark ages, including the celts but it's never been something I wanted to Pursue further. And thank you so much! X 7y
