Hmm...

What originally got me into the field, even though it maybe sounds cliche, is the Iliad. Fucking phenomenal story. The Fagles translation is my favorite, although Fitzgerald's is also quite good, and Lattimore's gives you a good sense of the concise directness of the Greek original. There are a few parts you really should just skip for your first reading, though... I can fill you in on those.

Second, Aeschylus' Oresteia, which is fucking awesome, and crazy. And my non-classicist SO says Ted Hughes' translation is the best, so try that one.

Third, Herodotus. The first attempt at historical writing that we have from the western tradition, and full of great stories, great storytelling, and insight into antiquity. Herodotus would probably be near the top of my list of people from ancient Greece or Rome to get a beer with, along with Ovid and Sappho.

There are some good times to be had with the folks of the ancient mediterranean, for sure :)

I'm not a chef, but if you're willing to listen to some friendly advice from a non-professional, I have one thing I'd recommend vis-a-vis the spices and herbs question: Smell your spices. Most spices and herbs smell a lot like they taste, so if you can imagine that taste in your dish, go for it! Of course, some spices and herbs are more aromatic than others, so this is only a starting point. For more, I've heard this book is pretty good.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check it out.

Embarrassing to say, but though I've always loved JH on the Daily Show—and fall more in love with him with every single interview he does—I've never read any of his books. This will be remedied. Right now, I'm still recovering from the fact that the 700 Hobo Names guy made me tear up.

Going through the hard times makes the good times that much more sweet :) Good for you!! I recommend a bed frame like this
. I also have a memory foam and it does not need the boxspring.

Oh, wow, thankee, sai.

You can order it off Amazon on either Kindle or Paperback. The link is here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Thoughts-Bore-Me-ebook/dp/B008LFI63E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342628170&sr=8-1 but that might be the UK site so if you're outside these hallowed isles then you will need to order it from your local Amazon.

Woooo! I hope you enjoy it. There are swear words in it.

Hey glad to hear it. appreciating the little things is a great way to be happy. i bough a new bath matt a few weeks ago, its really fluffy and now im happy when ever im brushing my teeth (which is twice a day) so id say it was a good investment.

I'd recommend Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance I wont say it changed my life, but i felt different after reading it.

I owned a '66 Beetle for about 3 months when I was 17. It didn't end well. (Not a wreck, it just needed a lot of small to medium work from the previous owner, and in the end I couldn't afford even the modest things that had to be done.)

I've wanted another one for my whole life since then, but it's never been the right time - so congratulations to you!

I very strongly recommend this book, it's both entertaining and informative.
