"A little more challenging than the sequel (Persian Boy) and a very odd start, but I'm really enjoying this. As usual, Renault does an excellent job at emphasizing the strangeness of the Hellenistic cultures without compromising immersion." Feb 22, 2026 11:20AM

"Very dense, not in a bad way, just a marathon of a book. Don't want to DNF so I'm shelving this temporarily until I have more time to get into it." Feb 22, 2026 11:25AM

Ray Bradbury
“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

T.E. Lawrence
“Nine-tenths of tactics are certain, and taught in books: but the irrational tenth is like the kingfisher flashing across the pool, and that is the test of generals.”
T.E. Lawrence

John Berger
“Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and in this hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.”
John Berger

Mervyn Peake
“I am too rich already, for my eyes mint gold.

- Coloured Money
Mervyn Peake, Collected Poems

Jack London
“But I am I. And I won't subordinate my taste to the unanimous judgment of mankind”
Jack London, Martin Eden
