These poems by Wilfred Owen pertaining to the horrors faced by soldiers in the WW1. I cried my way through these horrifically beautiful poems about war everything wrong with it. Owen leaves no stone unturned in this rendition of his and his comrades' experiences in rhyme, pulling away the vale of honour that shrouds military service. Every youth looking to enlist with glory in their eyes should be made to read this before committing.
I just finished N⁰ 73 of Penguin Little Black Classics as my first of the set to read. I love the story of Icarus. Scylla cutting off Nisus' purple tress to give to Minos has a certain fantasticism to it that's not often seen in contemporary lit. This was a breeze of a read at 56 pages and I'd recommend it to anyone facing a reading slump or just wanting a casual introduction to Ovid.

I just acquired the Penguin Little Black Classics Boxed set. It's truly beautiful. I'm planing to read one or two of these a week and will be making a lot of posts about these in the near future.
How fantabulously fab is this Penguin Classics hardback of L Frank Baum's fantasy classic, The Wizard of Oz (plus Emerald City, & Glinda)? The spredges are like a frieze, with scenes and characters running around from the bottom to the side to the top

Found this way deep in my YouTube "Watch Later" collection. It's a really nice guide to getting started with Charles Dickens including a recommended order for select books from Robert Douglas-Fairhurst. It is inspiring to see someone so passionate about their subject.

Might add these to my 2024 Reading List!
