Herwig Wolfram's History of the Goths is awaiting completion. Miranda Carter's triple biography of George, Nikolai [sic.] and Wilhelm is a leisurely reading. For professional or academic purposes I'm reading On Tyranny: An Interpretation of Xenphon's Hiero by Leo Strauss and re-reading (since I'm working on translating it) W. Sidney Allen's Vox Graeca: The Pronunciation of Classical Greek. Bed times are, as has become habitual for a few years now, accompanied by Tolkien, presently The Return of the Shadow, which is the first volume of the textual history of The Lord of the Rings, as the familiar ones would recognize.

It's great to be able to read again!
