I'm having a hard time finding a reading for Monday through Wednesday. π

# Gus is not reading...
December, Gellius
January, Filosofia para a vida (Vozes)
February.. (t.b.d.)
This is Monday through Wednesday reading. Friday and Saturday it's to be something else.
It's been a while since I read the story of the case when King Dauid had Uriah killed to get his wife, and of how the prophet intervened. π€

I have to calculate when I'll be able to return to Children of Dune. I've been willing to...

Gellius will be back in December! π
November will be the Dalai Lama's Voice. π
And January I'll be back to the practical philosopher. π€
By the way, I should have a tag "Gus is translating"...
I'm translating M. Cicero's De amicitia. I began just reading it, but it occurred to me that such a brief text wouldn't be so hard to translate, even with such little time as I have nowadays, so I compiled it in Latin to a doc and began.

I'm reading too many things at the same time. π
(1) The last Dalai Lama book (Mon-Wed);
(2) Dunk and Egg (A Knight...) (Thu-Sun);
(3) the practical philosopher's book (Mon-Wed, alternating with Dalai Lama)
(4) On Friendship, M. Cicero's (Mon-Wed, as an extension to the practical philosopher's)
(5) The Attic Nights (Gellius) (was/should be before I began Dunk and Egg)
(6) honorable mentions: Poe's poems; Shakespeare's The Tempest; another little book by Rudyard Kipling...

It's funny that I've been paying much more attention to the Greek quotes in this reading than to the Latin text itself.
I'm basically reading it in English, but when there's Greek it draws my eyes, and I keep trying to read and figure out what it's saying...
I left the Dalai Lama book aside this week, and took the Gellius.
I'm enjoying it quite well.
I had begun it before, but I never read it all. As it's anecdotes and antiquaries, you kinda get lost along the way...
