A Little Amazon Goodness

Those slender volumes came early. It is always fun to get new stuff - the great power of consumerism. However, Monk was disappointed looking at Norman Brown's translation of Hesiod's "Theogony." The book does not look much better than what he could have had if he just printed out an edition that is freely available on the Internet. Indeed, the structure is more cramped and difficult to read. I am also doubtful that it is a better translation.
Monk more eagerly thumbed through the beginning of Pauline Reage's "Return to the Chateau," looking for that promised rape scene. He did not find it, but it does look like they are going to break in little Natalie pretty good. Indeed, Monk is so eager to get to the authentic continuation of the story of O that he regrets having more than half of "Frankenstein" to get through. But he should always have problems like this.
