The Project So Far

Things have been very busy at my day job, but the results of the first two weeks of the Lanx Satura project are:

  1. Gracián’s Oráculo Manual has been stalled for a week after six daily entries. It is taking longer than I thought it would to translate each entry, but they also seem to demand more than one day each to ponder. I will soon decide whether to try to establish a more regular, though slower, schedule — three posts per week would finish the job in two years — and whether to include my own interpretative questions and comments in each post. The latter would provide some compensation for the retardation of the posting schedule.
  2. Bierce’s Write It Right is chugging along, one post per day, with only one of them particularly late so far. (I was up very late Thursday preparing Latin tests, so Friday’s post was nearly a day late.)
  3. M. R. James: Ghost Stories is more or less on schedule, with the second story, “Lost Hearts”, just posted, though I have not yet added any notes.

All I need now is readers and comments, and time to add a few more authors and some posts here on authors I would like others to provide.
