@ulfcytel If you can, visit the Tempio malatestiano in Rimini. One of my dreams is to go there and bask in that atmosphere.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

Absolutely top-notch, both.

@blonkevnoci Damn right.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

The most beautiful edition of The Silmarillion I've come across.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

A good source, this one.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

@ulfcytel The Mythos series is superb.

@ulfcytel Beautiful cover. Will track this one down.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

@ulfcytel Tolkien is an author that deserves shelf space in the right homes in the most beautiful editions available. I have a goal of owning the Silmarillion in every Germanic language into which it has been translated. I'm far from the goal but getting there.

Inconsequential tidbit: Much love to the writers who put out gargantuan tomes but I find that as the years go by I'm less inclined to give the requisite time to doorstopper-sized books. I know I'll never read Proust's Lost Time series and I'm good with that.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

@ulfcytel Have you read Dumezil's "Loki"? The English translation has been out of print for decades. I managed to snag a copy in the original French. Thing is, I can't read a lick of French. At least not yet...

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

@ulfcytel Been meaning to read this for years!

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

@ulfcytel Everything from Dumezil should never be out of print.

@middle_class_us Was wanting a burrito from a fast food chain yesterday. Medium size chicken burrito only, no extras: $15 before taxes. Suffice to say I walked out without buying. Canada is cooked.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

@DawsonSWilliams Glad to give it! DATD is definitely among my top 5 novels of all time.

[Skald Among the Ruins @dormantgods]

@DawsonSWilliams Absolutely on both counts!
