Mary Renault Book Discussion
TXdoug:
I feel like I am in a University Literature classroom. I greatly appreciate the history and friendly and interesting discussion and comments by everyone. I bought my copy of TLOTW. I may not have anything to contribute to the discussions but eagerly look forward to each post.

Welcome! Good to see you here. Grab a copy of "The Last of the Wine" and join our Mary Renault Book Club. We're only up to chapter 2, so you haven't missed a lot.
(Aside to Jess - Gad, we're only up to chapter 2 and have already filled eight pages!!!) :o

I've already read it - I think I've read all the Mary Renault books she was one of my favorites. I'm following where you've got up to and interst should be given to the relationship between Alexis and his father (and also his father's past history ;) ) My comment was a generalisation that although there are relationships between the sexes, we don't get the unimpeachable evidence of a character we would recognise as "homosexual" / Gay in our modern context.

(You tell me if/when you want to speed up...like I said I am having fun!)

Cain't say that there's any way we can speed up. All this stuff must be discussed before we can progress! And besides, I'm enjoying this sooo much! :)
