the years
I sent all of issue 37. I'm so glad it was 63 cents as opposed to 87. And also surprised.
Listening to the history of Byzantium as Erik watches his course. Who knew Justinian was so important! And how his wife was super-smart. Who knew Africa would be easier to conquer than to rule! Ghoulish politics. A German queen being murdered in her bathtub. Divided nobility, the middle class in revolt because of taxes because of too many expensive wars.
Eating some nice blackberries from the dollar store, where we also got a lot of organic oatmeal, mild chiles, tomatoes, boxes upon boxes of favored crackers, and organic maple-flavored cookies. And lots of mailing tape, which I needed and was the reason we went.
He read to me for an hour. We love The Years but were shocked when ten years just got skipped. It's fun to talk about the characters and decide which we like, which we don't like, and discuss what everyone meant when they said this or that. Woolf's artfulness.
