Got a decent chunk of this read while on vacation. And by "decent chunk," I mean 9 pages, of which I really understood maybe a third. When I finally get more facile with Latin, I'll go through it again (and probably laugh at my wholly incorrect and inadequate notes). Yes, this is a reading experiment. I'm allowed to fail and try again.

It's only two pages since my last update, but this is actually quick progress for me. Learning Latin takes time, and I knew this was going to be challenge when I started (digging in to a text like this). So, I'm plugging away and learning more as I go. Of course, I'll have to reread the first part of the book after I finish, so I can revisit and see how far I've come with the language.

Ironically, I may be dead before my Latin is good enough to fully understand this. And yet, I persist.

Three pages in a half hour! Man, I'm cruising through this! Good thing I took four months off of studying Latin to refresh my German!
