Poet

I agree! reading at night is really easier!!! also if you travel and you have no light.!!Unbeliavably helpfull!

Thank you timebug!! I have so many books to read now but I will not pass your suggestion! I will try to read it as soon as possible!

woooow!!!

There is no doubt that a real book is by far the best option! But as Madeleine says if you travel ereaders are what you need! I purchased kindle voyage because the screen is mat and it feels a bit like a paper page. Time will show me if I made the right decision. :))

48 hours??? That s a lot!!!

You are right! But maybe you use a tablet so I will agree with the light problem! E readers are less tiring and kindle voyage can slowly reduce the light in order to adjust the eye in the dark... I m just saying if you cant for any reason read a real book try an ereader its far better i think

I also prefer the book with its cover, it's simply amazing..! But yesterday I ordered an ereader. After a lot of thought i understood that portability is really important if you move a lot. So either we like it or not we will all end up with some ebooks. Panda I ve never heard any similar situation! But I m guessing what ever suits you books is all about having fun, so it doesnt matter how you read them!

I will give it a try in the near future!

Yes they are but the translation is very good I love this poem!!!!!!

Poppy You are making me so happy!! This is an excellent translation! Now something about the story that the poem refers to Plutarch's story of how Antony, besieged in Alexandria by Octavian, heard the sounds of instruments and voices of a procession making its way through the city, then passing out; the god Bacchus (Dionysus), Antony's protector, was deserting him; the poem's title itself is a verbatim quotation from Plutarch's text. When Antony went to Alexandia he met Kleopatra and fell in love with her.. she was with the enemies of the Roman Empire so soon they sent army against them two.. Soon he and she were about to loose; the next day... Say goodbye to the Alexandria; you are loosing... Whats your impressions??? Haha a funny misunerstood

Hi michelle!! Welcome!!!

Thank you chesilbeach now I have more informations :) :)

Your advices were very helpfull!!! Thank you!!! and thank you for your time!

May I ask few more questions? Have you tried reading on a tablet? Is there a huge difference between these two? Is e reader more relaxing? Should I choose an e reader or a tablet, if the most important thing I will use it for is reading???

Hi kerry! welcome!!!!!

Brian thank you so much!!! You were very helpful!

Thank you for your response! I ve noticed that kinlde cant run epub, that is a type of many e books... so I dont know if I should choose kindle. Also one question: Can you download and read ebooks from other sites than amazon?? Or only kindle's store?

Shelfy thank you !!! Nice to meet you to!! :) Yes I have a great time! You are all so kind and polite! This is by far the best forum with the best people I ve ever been to!!

Poppy!!! You seem to know so many things about his life and bibliography, and that makes me want know him to! Your interest to him truly motivates me! There is no doubt I m going to find out!!! Yes, that must be it! Because I couldnt find any other explanation! Google has nothing and also neither my close friends or family members (although some of them are pretty much into history ) have heard anything weird about that! But we cant be sure unless we ask an expert! Maybe one day... :p

Kimble really???? Hahahaahahahah That sure sound fun!! :D I know british people sometimes get really really drunk!!! Hahaha you are the best!!! )) Also here meat is similar to what you are describing! Lots of fat and unknown ingredients...so unhelthy!

You should taste it! Its amazing! Just dont exaggerate because its soooo unhealthy. (Here this food is like macdonalds in america or crepes in France! Literally everywhere!)!!!!

P.S. I am not talking about the programms you use to read books on tablets I am talking about the device you use!! (Didnt know if I made my self clear ) :p

I ll read a book of him to see if he is really that good:D I ll tell you later about my impressions!!!!!!! Lots of people here gave me lots of advices one books I should read!! you are all great!!!!! Ask her and tell me No Ive never heard or noticed anything about that :/ but I ll sure look it up!! I m guessing its not something significant! Ancient greeks used to decorate their temples with things from everyday life! The also used to draw their jobs and how they made stuff! So I think that mice was for decoration to make the carved more descriptive and "alive"!! But thats just a guess! I ll look this up! :)

I recently had the idea of purchasing a new ebook reader! But i really dont have any idea about what I should look for... can anyone suggest me a good one? Not a cheap or expensive one, something in the middle ( I noticed some topics like this but I couldnt understand what I should pay attention to :/)

Thank you poppy!!! I ve never heard about this author, but I am sure he ll be really good:) Which place will she visit?? Maybe I could suggest a few things to her!!!!she ll have a nice time here! I am sure :)
