I have been looking forward to Prageeta Sharma's book for months now, after I heard it was going to be out. Certainly a reason to celebrate. And thanks for the other recs--I have put them on my "to have" list for the season. Take it easy. Thank you for this post, Major.

I can only assume that your description of book parties comes from autobioghical experience. I wish was important enough to have an archenemy let alone one who coveted my success they showed up at my big party and gave me evil looks. I want someone to flash me nasty looks and begrudge me my accomplishments. Can I borrow your guest list if I ever write something worthy enough for celebration? Hi,

But I am determined to throw an Epicurean affair for the Lucretius translation, and will be doing so later this month. (If anyone is planning to be in Athens--not, I guess, driving distance from NYC--it will be January 28 at the British School of Archeaology... please come!) So I am keen to hear this definitive list of do's and don't's, before it is too late!
