Finished reading *The Rigor of Angels* this morning (Excellent Book by William Egginton) & now I’m finally starting Emily Wilson’s new translation of The Iliad!

Enjoy! Love the fall vibes 🍂 🎃

Thank you!! I love autumn 🎃🍁

I do not have a subscription to the Atlantic— it cut me off after the first section.

That sucks I thought you could read like one free a month.

There’s an option to start a free trial— but I already subscribe to enough. That’s why I try to share gift links— FT & NYT offers these. I’m tempted though— I will check again soon. I enjoy literary reviews. I find myself subscribing to more literary magazines these days vs. every newspaper.

Bought the new translation as well, barely started.

Reading & savoring the introduction by Emily Dickinson. 🔥📖

*Wilson 🫣🤣

They were next to each other on my bookshelf until this morning— although The Odyssey — her translation remains 🤷🏻‍♀️📖

Hahaha synchronicity strikes again

A Boethius Lesson perhaps (something I learned in *The Rigor of Angels*) —

Wow, great to see some Classics #bookstr

I haven’t read the Iliad in dozens of years, would love to check out this translation 🙏
