I just finished N⁰ 73 of Penguin Little Black Classics as my first of the set to read. I love the story of Icarus. Scylla cutting off Nisus' purple tress to give to Minos has a certain fantasticism to it that's not often seen in contemporary lit. This was a breeze of a read at 56 pages and I'd recommend it to anyone facing a reading slump or just wanting a casual introduction to Ovid.

I just acquired the Penguin Little Black Classics Boxed set. It's truly beautiful. I'm planing to read one or two of these a week and will be making a lot of posts about these in the near future.
