Damn I really will have to come back to this thread when I have more time. This kind of stuff fascinates me

That makes two of us Though perhaps we ought to start a new thread, rather than continue to hijack Sappers Lifetime Reading thread...unless Sapper doesn't object...

Sapper do you mind?

Aaah he loves it really

I minored in Latin in college, which I found very helpful in passing my Chaucer class - a lot of middle English has latin/french roots. I also find it helpful in spelling words, I just have a better feel for when longer words have double consonants (Cincinnati, for instance.) But I mostly found it a nice change from my literature classes, since most of them were very fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants discussion affairs. One could not bs one's way through a Latin translation.

I took Latin for four years in high school. It has definitely helped my spelling and vocabulary. It also helped with the little bit of Spanish that I took...though I can read Spanish much better than I can speak it or understand it while being spoken (that has a lot to do with the speed at which it is spoken).

I dont mind, but let me start us a new thread!

Our Language posts have been copied to another thread, Please continue this thread on the lifetime reading plan of PAIN!

Thank you Sapper


A lifetime reading of pain? Have you already started reading through this list? (Some of the selections looked pretty painful to me)

 

[Sapper41]

shprt of homers work, i havent read anything on that list- but ive heard of the art of war a couple times... can someone elaborate on what thats about- cuz it sounds cool... but thats just the title

Hmm I haven't read it but from what I get it's about the basics of any kind of battle, and focuses on common sense. But this is just a small summary a friend gave me.
