Vivamus, mea Lesbia

Otherwise known as the Catullus Fangirling Post. (If you don't know who Catullus was, read the link and be ye educated. It's very, very worth it.) Right. So while off at Latin camp  (shameless self-promotion is shameless, but still), the Hellenic Book Service came along to sell stuff to us. Ignore the aesthetics of their website - their actual physical shops and services are very, very good, especially for Latin/Greek/Classics geeks (and non-geeks as well - a day in there is a day well spent for anyone who wants to cram their head full of knowledge). They also sell some second-hand stuff as well, including a copy of Fifty Latin Lyrics  which I picked up for a pittance compared to the price on Amazon. This isn't product placement - this is me explaining how I got where I am now. Anyway, I'm working through said Latin Lyrics  to keep my brain sharp and broaden my horizons a little, since I've been meaning to read more Latin literature but haven't really had...
