    aww, i miss you too!! coming back 28.08 i think, but where will you be? i really like the mermaid saga, but it's quite gruesome, lots of blood.

    The History Non-Fiction Group is set to read The Linguist and the Emperor: Napoleon and Champollion's Quest to Decipher the Rosetta Stone by Daniel Meyerson for the Jul-Sep quarter. This book discusses the two men whose lives intersected over a love of all things Egypt and led to Campollion solving the mystery of the language on the Rosetta Stone. The book is fairly short - only 271 pages including the Author's Note at the end - and easy to read so it's a good book for the first ever quarterly read. Please join us if you're interested.

    LOL! I've been trying to read a couple of them for ages (been reading Grimm since I was at uni but it's so long!). Some are definitely the pick-up-and-put-down kind of book ^^;

    the only blake thing i have recently 'touched' was ulvers version of marriage of heaven and hell, which is quite cool. ulver is a norwegian ex-metal/avantgard project. i don't want to ever analyse any of his poetry ever again...
