Classic Lessons in Love

Publius Ovidius Naso (43 BC-AD 17/18), more familiarly known as Ovid, was a Roman poet most famously known for his mythological history of the world, Metamorphoses. His satirical and sometimes dark take on all the intricacies of love and relationships is exhibited in Ars Amatoria. The Art of Love is a 1971 English translation edition of Ars Amatoria, translated by English classicist and scholar of Latin poetry B. P. Moore (1877-1955), with pen and ink illustrations by British artist Eric Fraser (1902-1983). The edition was designed by Robert L. Dothard and printed at the Press of A. Colish in Mount Vernon, NY, for members of the Limited Editions Club in an edition of 1500 copies on specially-made, oyster-white, mould-made paper crafted at the Arches mill in France.

In the first book of Ars Amatoria, Ovid guides men on how to successfully find a woman. In the second book, we see Ovid's advice shift towards maintaining a healthy relationship with one's partner. The third and final book, produced two years after the first two, focuses on advice for women on how to win and keep the love of a man. The work, however, was considered salacious and was banned by Emperor Augustus, with the charge of it being immoral, and is one of the few examples of the Roman government censoring a Roman author’s writing.

The topic's typical scenarios are presented engagingly, incorporating elements from Greek mythology, daily life in ancient Rome, and universal human experiences. Ovid offers hilarious advice, such as how women can keep their lovers from becoming neglectful by making them artificially jealous. He also advises men to never argue with their mistresses, as it could lead to expensive gift-giving in order to reconcile. When it comes to the sexes, it seems some things never change!

#it sounds unbalanced and OP but hear this: he's a pacifist and is just there for moral support and will also carry stuff #lets you go on his shoulders when you break a limb #he's got one of those big fire hydrant clubs but it's actually been repurposed into a big water bottle #you get a bonus to strength and speech checks when he's travelling with you because wastelanders don't KNOW he's just a chill guy who knits #and collects limited edition pre-war postage stamps #fallout

Marbled Monday

This marbled Monday we're sharing the devilishly delightful book The Devil's Dictionary by American short story writer, poet, and journalist Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). A widely influential writer of many sorts, Bierce disappeared in Mexico in 1913, so the actual date and circumstances of his death are unknown. The Devil's Dictionary is a satirical dictionary consisting of humorous definitions and is considered one of the best pieces of satirical humor to come out of the United States.

This edition was published in 1972 by the Limited Editions Club and features woodcut illustrations and devilish ornaments by German artist Fritz Kredel (1900-1973). The marbled paper used for the endpapers and the slipcase are patterned using a fantasy design in red and black that is described as a "harmonizing flame pattern" in the prospectus. Our copy is from the collection of Austin Frederic Lutter and includes his bookplate.

im making my way through all the popular "How To Write Your Novel!" youtuber's self published novels just to see if they can actually write as well as they teach and so far ummm they are Not Good

100 days of sunlight by abbie emmons reads like a high school creative writing project. She writes words l i k e t h i s for emphasis which kind of got on my nerves and made me feel like i was reading a wattpad story. A man forces his way into a womans home and ignores how uncomfortable she is and i guess im supposed to find that endearing instead of really fucking creepy. The sequel is even worse and I've heard her other book is a 30 year old falling in love with a just turned 18 year old so ehhh not even gonna read that one.

The Saviors Champion by Jenna Moreci couldve been 300 pages shorter with how repetitive the scenes were. Each character is given 2 names and theres 20 characters so thats FORTY names i have to learn. Plus all the side characters, and it didn't help that they all speak exactly the same way except for the gay guy who spoke like a caveman. The gay characters are killed off and the bisexuals are seen as predators. The world doesnt make any sense, the plot doesnt make any sense, and the author makes no attempt to explain it (and apparently shes said she hates worldbuilding so she just doesnt do it which makes me think umm fantasy writing might not be for you bestie). Every single character ends their sentences with ",yes?" SO MANY TIMES to the point where my brain starting autofilling it into the dialogue even if it wasnt there, yes?

#i understand some people are better at coaching than playing but...theres no time limit to write and edit a novel #like if u have all these bad things that YOU YOURSELF ADVISE AGAINST just edit them out???? idgi #please someone recommend me a good fantasy book im suffering #nessas book club

The new QOTSA album is EXCELLENT. These lyrics hit me so hard.

"There's gotta be someway back to earth

I'm drifting away as the world turns

We'll never get back to where we were

Stare into oblivion, oh, it hurts

Don't say you love me no more

Thought we was equals

Broken peoples keep score, yeah

Don't say you really care, as if you really do

Who would believe in you now?"
