Thanks, MTGuru. Dry I can handle (eg) especially in a SW English winter . Using Greek Epics as a Rorschach is fun too. I think I will seek out a copy after the equinox.MTGuru wrote:Yes indeed, that's it, Phill.DrPhill wrote:Is this the one? Is it readable by someone with not formal training in music theory? If so it might make a good winter reading project by the sound of the contents.....
Think of Alice in Wonderland when the animals all fall into a pool of Alice's tears, and the mouse recites the history of William the Conquerer to dry them off ... because it's the driest thing he knows. The Singer of Tales may run a close second.
FiddlerWill - did you pick up the book? Or did you pick up the quality of dryness associated with the book? If the former, then I would appreciate your thoughts when you read it.
