@ariella-newheart Yeah! I’m excited. 😀

@taylorclogston Well, I really wanted to read either Tolkien’s or Heaney’s but we already have a copy of Beowulf that my school curriculum asks for… that is the Dover Thrift Edition translated by R. K. Gordon.

Wow, that translation sounds really interesting. My brother is working on a startup right now, (and getting married ha) but after that his next dream is to start a publishing company that publishes modern rendition of classics. I think that’s an amazing way to step on toes of nerds and teachers. xD But his idea is to get people to write the books to the point where they would engage the newer generation and related better to them, and yet honor the original so that anyone who truly understands it, will see the multiple layers and depth that serves it. It sounds really hard (and I’m having a hard time explaining it well), but I hope he is able to end up doing it. I think he said he had someone already beginning on The Odyssey…

I forgot to say before, those covers you made are really nice! How did you make them? How long did it take?
