I am so glad you love Josh Groban's voice. Do you know why it is so special.? I think I will turn it on now.
I never read Rene Descartes.I have forgotten most of my Latin, You have me curious. I read like Horace,Catullus,Plautus ,Seneca,Caesar,
Cicero and Virgil. I don't know if I skipped any. I went to the university of Penn and most of my classes were very small. I loved two teachers and took every class Dr. Palmer had to offer. The Plautus was a graduate course and I would get so anxious that I would have to take a nap before the class. One fellow was a genius and I was so in awe of him. He could sight read Latin and I found it hard, He would skip classes. Dr Palmer who might have been a genius got angry at him so fixed him one time by giving a test on material from only discussed in class which the guy didn't attend lol. I think Dr. Palmer was one of the youngest full Professors in the country. Dr McDermott(sp) was so sweet. He found it too painful for us to read the letters in exile by Cicero. He had a daughter Grace and he wanted her to communicate with Cicero lol and supposedly somebody's daughter in the middle ages. When I later visited Penn and saw Dr Palmer my legs started shaking. I couldn't to wait to tell him I saw a temple outside of Split that said something like don't pee on me or the Gods would get you. I had originally read it in one of the courses he gave. He had a wicked sense of humor.
I was obviously bipolar because when I graduated there were no jobs.
Love and kisses
