Pam Ayres Poetry Collection Audio book Mp3 download Warm and witty, direct and droll, the sharply funny Pam Ayres has been amusing and entertaining her many fans for years...

If you have ever been on mySpace this one is worth the read. LMAO

Iliad Audio book Mp3 download The Iliad tells the story of fifty critical days towards the end of the Trojan war.

This is the sing-song translation attributed to Robin Flowers. All this time I've been naive, Pangur Ban is quite a read.

Quoted:
So in peace our tasks we ply,
Pangur Ban, my cat and I;
In our arts we find our bliss,
I have mine, and he has his.

This was a much more enjoyable translation for me to read. Comparing the two translations (Heaney's to Flowers') offers fascinating reflections on style, bias, skill, taste, audience, etc.

Thanks, Carol!
