Myth, Ritual, and Religion. By Andrew Lang. London, 1887 (Longmans Green and Co.) 8vo. 2 vols. pp. xvi. 340; vii. 373.
At last we have a book which deals with some of the most important phases of mythology and folk-lore, and in no single instance confuses the provinces and terminology of these sciences. How considerable an advantage this is to the student only…

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?

The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!

Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.

Best part? They’re all in public domain, so if you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!

Through cloudless skies, in silvery sheen,
Full beams the moon on Actium's coast:
And on these waves, for Egypt's queen,
The ancient world was won and lost.

— George Gordon, Lord Byron

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When you re-read a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in yourself than there was before. -Clifton Fadiman, editor and critic (15 May 1904-1999)

Listening to: Can't stay away from you - Gloria Estefan. She is one singer who I can never give up listening to.
