BTW, attched you find the second letter for MobileRead's winter contest. * Voici la 2ème lettre pour notre Jeu d'Hiver. * Anbei findet Ihr den 2. Buchstaben für unser Wintergewinnspiel. Good luck, bonne chance, viel Glück!
I'd love to find a modern telling of the Iliad and Odyssey that's not in poetry...
