Considered one of the greatest tactical generals of all time.  (Although you have to feel sorry for the poor elephants).

Great to have a story on a classical theme for a change.  Very well written, I loved it. Five stars out of five.

Working in the book section

Jane Austen said much the same sort of thing as Jim Jarmusch.

Thanks for the recommendation.  I've just ordered the Joseph Mitchell book, and also John McNulty's This Place On Third Avenue, which is on my recommendation list and I...

Cheesey gen

Posted on Fri, 13 Feb 2026
