As far as I know neither Will nor his ball and chain Ariel are hebes...Anyway...

I've got a hardcover copy of The Age of Voltaire on the back burner, which I picked up at my county's annual spring library book sale for a measly fitty cent. Not bad, eh?

After I finish up with The History I'm delving into Samuel Butler's translation of The Iliad. (I read another translation of it about 20 years ago; can't remember whose though...)
