What I'm reading
Volume 1 of the poems of Martial in the Loeb Classical Library edition. Bilingual text ftw! (Actually trilingual, because every so often Martial just drops in some Greek, which is pretty cool.) I've not read much post-Augustan literature, so this is interesting on multiple levels.

What I've just read
I finally finished Sylvester by Georgette Heyer. It got much more amusing once I had two glasses of free beer on an empty stomach on my Alaska flight to Portland on Saturday. I never really liked Phoebe or Sylvester all that much, I have to admit. I have False Colors on my shelf and will probably read that too for completeness' sake, but I suspect that will be enough for me to feel as though I've had sufficient Heyer experience.

What I'll read next
I got Alaya Dawn Johnson's The Summer Prince at Powell's, as well as The Dazzle of Day by Molly Gloss and John M. Ford's two classic Star Trek novels, but I still need to get through The Perilous Gard as well as many other books.

You should read Cotillion as your last Heyer! Because it is the best.
