I have a copy of The Iliad and a set of Dickens‘ works that were both published in 1870. I also have a set of Thackeray published in 1890. I started collecting antique books a couple of years ago!

This week I'm going to recommend Open Mike Eagle's podcast 'What Had Happened Was' where each season he interviews an artist or figure significant to hip hop. Making the interviews season-long instead of varying by episode means you get about a memoir's worth of stories. I found it via a Spotify recommendation because I'm a longtime fan of Questlove's podcast, and he's the interview subject for Season 4 👇
Possibly the best bar for Littens in New Zealand is The Library Bar in Wellington. Lots of spaces to read! Lots of old books! Very cool staff who look like they know a book or two or three…
I love how vintage everything is including the jazz they were playing.
Forgot to post this when i was there but highly recommend if youre an NZ Litten or visiting 😍
I suppose it depends on what is meant by publication date. Here is an interesting article about The Iliad, which would have to be the earliest book I have read. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/geneticists-estimate-publication-date...
pickStarting off the year with a short excerpt from Homer‘s The Iliad.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really enjoyed this. A good taster of stories of Achilles. I was a bit confused at times but that‘s because I don‘t know enough Greek mythology.
Who is who‘s son and who is his mother? 🤣
Great little intro. Read in the bath because it‘s been a stressful day.
I was feeling guilty about listening to an audiobook of The Iliad instead of reading it and then I remembered ....
It was meant to be heard. Not that I don't always love audiobooks. I'm excited to start this version
There's the fun thing about preorders...I forget I ordered them until they show up in my mailbox. It's like a surprise gift I send to myself. :-) I loved Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey so much, I had to nab her Iliad, too.
