Loving this - my son died in April. He was a student of Classics and Comparative Literature at Uni of Glasgow, over 10 years ago. He was a writer. Opening his books and gaining understanding of all he loved reading, studying - helps me feel close to him. Im not a reader but i want to be. In his legacy. And i thank you for bringing it all alive and assisting my new found learning - he would have studied all this.
