What's the name of this book again?  ;)

injest:
an overview of what we will see in Chapter 3...

this is a long chapter...with a LOT going on...Alexias is now 15 (and attracting men's attention already...this 'ugly' child)....the Athenians are preparing to go to war against Syracuse....the city is in an uproar over a night of vandalism...we meet Xenophon (the famed horseman)...Socrates makes another appearance....

LYSIS!!

David In Indy:
Is this the kind of book a gay man from Indiana could relate to?

I like a lot of pictures in my books.  ;)

Seriously, I might end up buying this book.

injest:
I'm sorry David...it is not a picture book...you have to use your imagination...but it is pretty easy..she gives GREAT descriptions..

I think there is a lot in here that you can relate to!!

injest:
and it is not a big book....it reads very easily, goes down very smoothly!!

you will love it and have all the others in no time!
