A recently new member of our book chats writes:
I can't tell you how much I am enjoying my study of Ancient Rome. The twice-a-month chat motivates me to do my reading thoughtfully. You and the others have graciously shared your knowledge and insights and I am extremely grateful for that. I only wish that a hundred years ago, when I was a schoolgirl translating Caesar and Cicero, that I had known the context of it all – too much emphasis on Person-Number-Tense-Mood-Voice, not enough thrill of the the story.
That makes it all worthwhile!
