Summer Reading for Greeks (and a Status Update)

My brothers and sisters of the American College Greek-letter societies:

In this modern age few of us read Cicero in the original - that is, assuming we even KNOW who Cicero was. Yet it is even sadder that few of us read even a translation of one of his most important essays: his essay De Amicitia, which means "On Friendship."

Fortunately, that essay (in English) is available here, thanks to Gutenberg. It won't take you long, and you won't have to go hunting for a copy of a Lewis and Short Latin-English Dictionary, or even pull up an on-line translator.

We will have more suggestions soon.

I have just received the next proof of Brothers in Blood and have some final edits to perform, but it is looking great and should be ready very soon. Check back often!
