hawkwing_lbBooks 2010: 140-143
140. Plato, Timaeus & Critias. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2005. Translated by Robin Waterfield.
Ack. Ack. Ick. This is the most unreadable book in the history of unreadable books, the one most purely concerned with the nature of the universe and the reasons for created bodies - and I have never been much in the theological line.
I will have to go back and take notes with more assiduity on Plato's teleology of the human form. But right now, I cannot bear the thought.
141-143. Patrick O'Brian, Clarissa Oates, The Wine-Dark Sea, and The Commodore.
Clarissa Oates is possibly the first believable non-incidental woman I have encounted in O'Brian's writings, and whether or not that says more about Oates and her peculiar circumstances or me, I can't say.
Notwithstanding O'Brian's women, he writes most excellent naval men, naval actions, and the relationship between Aubrey and Maturin. I admit to beng somewhat disappointed in Martin's fate/development, but it may well have been only to be expected.
