Reading Log: Republic, Book I

Reading The Republic, Book I, today (Bloom translation). I haven't read it since 1985, and I'm always blown away by how influential this was for back-then me.

There and back again

Honestly, the last several months have been a trip through the rabbit hole, the whole journey of which is too much to tell in a post, and possibly not worth the telling in its own right, but worthy to mention that I am, once again, here.

Jennifer pointed me toward a reading challenge hosted by Beth Fish Reads.
Between January 1 and December 31, 2010, read one book in each of the following categories:

1. A book with a food in the title.
2. A book with a body of water in the title.
3. A book with a title (queen, president, sir) in the title.
4. A book with a plant in the title.
5. A book with a place name (country, city) in the title.
6. A book with a music term in the title.
So far this year, I'm pretty certain none of the books I have read quite meets any of the requirements, so hooray for guidelines.
