I teach, sometimes do freelance translations, occasional reviews, ran three marathons and two ultras.

And if you’re willing to accept an unsolicited book recommendation from someone who rarely tweets or reviews anymore, Penguin Classics has issued a new translation of Sadeq Hedayat’s The Blind Owl. Hauntingly good.

https://t.co/bPb4RZ6wsI - A shame this series was cut short…

[Larry @Squirrelpunkd]

https://t.co/yZgioAeBhl - Another literary list, but still an intriguing one…

[Larry @Squirrelpunkd]

https://t.co/EB3vFsujGF - I’m excited to discover this relatively new series, especially since learning Arabic is on my bucket list for this decade.

@adribbleofink It’s been ages since I’ve read ANY epic fantasy (unless currently teaching myself Greek via Homer counts), but have the alt-recs changed much in the past 8-10 years? The names I’ve seen appear to be the same I saw (and occasionally read) pre-2014.

https://t.co/fBUXaM0DPE - A beautiful illustrated edition of a classic work.

[Larry @Squirrelpunkd]

https://t.co/WxNvuBSrf0 - A propos for today, a review of Marco Girolamo Vida’s Christiad. I’m very cutting-edge these days with my literary reviews…

So I ended up writing my first review in about six years 🤷🏼‍♂️ https://t.co/BdLfSbtpWb

Hmm… I’ve been inactive here so long that my last tweet had a 140 character limit….

https://t.co/ZbRBvQ1z0r - For those who missed it, ran my first ultramarathon on Saturday and developed hypothermia along the way 😁

https://t.co/mFuyJlRroK - So I just realized that my blog reached 14 years old today. A little commemoration, but no, not resuming regular blogging just yet (if ever). Oh, and I survived a car accident Thursday. Little things.

Reading Library of America #303 on Reconstruction is so a propos for today’s world. Sometimes the terrorists (and that’s used directly several times) do win for a long spell.

@MrSkimpole The Zafón, yes, the other, sadly I can't purchase it for less than $75 right now (if I can import it). But thanks for the tip.

[Larry @Squirrelpunkd]

@LessPopMoreFizz Sorry about that. Senior squirrel moment.
