Recent acquisition for our personal library:
📖 Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo
I casually collect interesting Penguin Classics and you're looking at a handful of the first PCs, the 'L series'. Some are American editions with price in $ and some are British with price in £. They sit on my desk at the standalone mid-size public library where I have worked for 17 years and where I am the librarian over adult nonfiction, local history, and reference.

These poems by Wilfred Owen pertaining to the horrors faced by soldiers in the WW1. I cried my way through these horrifically beautiful poems about war everything wrong with it. Owen leaves no stone unturned in this rendition of his and his comrades' experiences in rhyme, pulling away the vale of honour that shrouds military service. Every youth looking to enlist with glory in their eyes should be made to read this before committing.

I just finished N⁰ 73 of Penguin Little Black Classics as my first of the set to read. I love the story of Icarus. Scylla cutting off Nisus' purple tress to give to Minos has a certain fantasticism to it that's not often seen in contemporary lit. This was a breeze of a read at 56 pages and I'd recommend it to anyone facing a reading slump or just wanting a casual introduction to Ovid.

I just acquired the Penguin Little Black Classics Boxed set. It's truly beautiful. I'm planing to read one or two of these a week and will be making a lot of posts about these in the near future.

Look at this beauty I bought yesterday! Dante's Inferno with a nice introduction, notes, commentary, and bilingual Italian/English translation, which was exactly what I wanted. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I decided to treat myself with the circles of Hell 😈 I was checking with my wife where we would end up in and the possibilities are vast. I'll be dwelling between circles 2 and 6. #classicliterature #italianlit #Dante #penguinclassics #books

Found this way deep in my YouTube "Watch Later" collection. It's a really nice guide to getting started with Charles Dickens including a recommended order for select books from Robert Douglas-Fairhurst. It is inspiring to see someone so passionate about their subject.

Might add these to my 2024 Reading List!
