Last summer, we went to a neighbor's garage sale and bought a series of books in excellent condition called "The Harvard Classics", first printed in 1909. Ours is a 1969 printing. One of the books is Plutarch, including 9 lives and 2 comparisons. My 15 year old son has recently finished reading this book (he chose it on his own) and shared a lot of it with me. I enjoyed reading your post and feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon these books. This series includes writings of old that not a lot of people talk about these days. The old books are the best, in our opinion. Good discussion material, too! It took me a bit to "get" your sneezing title - then I laughed out loud. Nicely done!<br />- Katecall*me*katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902146131211374792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-66775105100522296862010-09-06T18:52:38.718-07:002010-09-06T18:52:38.718-07:00My 1296-page-volume sits on the shelf waiting for ...My 1296-page-volume sits on the shelf waiting for the boys to get older.

It is the same exact deal but on the amazon site as opposed to audible (amazon now owns audible). But I went back just now and it says just what you quoted! Certainly, only 4 lives does NOT make it worth the price!! <br /><br />I'm going to edit the post! <br /><br />amy in peruamy in peruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514765606705513864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-9807484716936900052010-09-04T17:13:53.803-07:002010-09-04T17:13:53.803-07:00Thanks for sharing your find!
I found this: http:...Thanks for sharing your find!<br /><br />I found this: http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B002UZJKWM <br /><br />It includes four lives: Marc Antony, Cicero, Theseus, Romulus. <br /><br />And the description:<br /><br />A brilliant Greek writer and philosopher, Plutarch wrote detailed biographies of 46 legendary Greek and Roman figures, four of whom are included in this important collection. He profiles one of his contemporaries, Marc Antony, who followed Caesar and seduced Cleopatra. The next installment features Cicero, an influential Roman orator, politician, statesman, and philosopher who brought Greek thought into his culture. The final 2 biographies focus on 2 of history's most famous mythical figures: Theseus, the Greek king who defeated the Minotaur, and Romulus, who was raised by a she-wolf and went on to found the Roman empire.<br /><br />Plutarch's Lives remains an essential document of Greek and Roman history and mythology, preserving the stories of both cultures' greatest leaders for future generations.<br /><br />Public Domain (P)1993 by Recorded Books, Inc.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028996660243051619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-59747755510565246512010-09-04T11:49:26.870-07:002010-09-04T11:49:26.870-07:00That's why I love your blog and YOU, you find ...That's why I love your blog and YOU, you find the best things and though as you say right now I'm like Plutarch what?, it's always great to know that others are paving the way for when our time comes...maybe by then we'll have your recording of it?
