I don't know Jo Walton either. I can see I should get out more!

In Australia, yes. Not in the US, or any country in Western Europe. And definitely not in the UK.

You should consider giving Richard III: His Life & Character / Reviewed in the light of recent research by Sir Clements R. Markham a read. It PD and available from PG/US as Ebook 36451. It's makes a good compliment to The Daughter of Time, though Tey's approach makes the topic very accessible. |

Thanks for that, dwig - I've just downloaded it.
I think I have enough books waiting to be read, both paper and electronic, to keep me going until I'm about 150! |

Latinandgreek is taking part in the reading of the Aeneid and is reading it in Latin. She might be able to help you when she has finished with Virgil.
(I am totally in awe of her ability to read Latin poetry!) |

EDIT: I've just tried Google's Latin translation, and it's pretty damned good. I gave it the first few lines of the "Aeneid": Quote:

I'd be interested to know what would happen if you gave it a paragraph that you had written yourself. (Try it, why don't you). If you think I'm talking rubbish, by all means say so. Mike |

You may well be right, Mike. I'll dig up something extremely obscure from the Perseus archive and see what it does with that .
I still think, however, that it's at least worth having a go and seeing what the results are like. |

Thanks for the links. I've downloaded all of them - greedy little Aussie that I am.

I have tried several times, and the result was awful.
