    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.

    YES, YES, YES. I saw the title, saw the time stamp, saw the books, and immediately- YES. This why I pay for internet!
