A Princess Of Mars


Can you believe my mother let read books with covers like this when I was in elementary school? And she’s going to see this and read this caption and then she’s going to call me and ask, ‘Was I really that bad?’ and I’m going to say, ‘No, you were wonderful and encouraged me to read, even if you thought it was total crap,’ and then everything will be cool, except there will still be some nagging doubt in the back of her mind.

Happy Birthday, Oscar Wilde


Thanks for The Picture of Dorian Gray, my third favorite work of 19th century Decadent literature (and my second favorite in English).

Happy Birthday, Virgil


The poet who brought us The Flea and Georgics would have been 2082 today.
