March 27, 2025 -- Nothing like a snoring dad, Faure's Requiem and a 100 dollar ebook

High on gummies, cold air blowing from an open screen door, heating pad around sore neck with a tubular thing for a curvature sort of support which is tied together tight, almost to choking so that the heat of the pad really sinks down into the muscles. Smooth lovely liturgical music, and volume 1 of a expensive series on the History of Greek Philosophy. It just doesn't get better than this folks. You can keep all yer parties and loose livin', this is how I'd like to spend every night.

I just realized why this work hasn't been re-published, they would have to update it to current scholarship, and the work which is so highly regarded would have to be altered, and the popular consensus is that it ought to stay the same.

But a little voice says inside me, so what, have Penguin Classics release it, or nyrb, Modern Library.
