Thank you kindly for the offer, but that's not a thing I can let you do. :) I have... *counts* ... er, ten or so college course books to work through before October. I am on strict rationing of the pleasure reading.
(I have a cunning plan: I will read college books and practice college assignments in September, and then I will have a leg up for Michaelmas Term.)
Besides, by the time I've worked through the college books (I will be virtuous, yes, I will), the local library ought to have moved back to refurbished premises and updated its catalogue. If they do not have Ginzburg -well, I'll be most disappointed. They have Sozhenitsyn and Applebaum, so I have hopes. :)
Thucydides. Alas, that most comprehensive of Greek historians. I can't stab him, sadly. It must be reading, to the end, the bitter end. :)
