"The Persian Boy" ~ Mary Renault
"All through the speech, I had been watching faces. Not the Persians'; they had been prepared, and were all grave attention. The King's friends, in the secret too, were doubly busy, applauding and watching others; all but Hephaistion, who for most time was watching Alexander, as grave as the Persian, and more attentive still. "
I'm really liking Hephaistion. For all a bunch of details such as this one.
Ok, this is not the only thing I could about him, or Bagoas, or Alexander, but I think it'd be better if I went back to reading.
Bye!
"Yet when we Persians bowed down, they thought nothing of it. Oh, no; we were just displacing our abject natures. It was only blasphemy when done by Macedonians."
Greatgreatgreat.
Please, keep me far from a computer when I'm reading something, lest I spam anywhere with things like that.
If let alone I would be capable of copying down the whole book. Hey, it's not even legal.

Cmq Bruné, hai scaricato la posta che t'ho mandato su yahoo ieri? Altrimenti, facciam prima, dimmi qual è la casella che scarichi di solito, così uso quella di default... ;)
E ASTB l'ho finito. Dovresti vedere che faccia ho stamattina. Ho pianto ininterrottamente per tutte le ultime cento pagine e anche se posso dire che Jim in fondo un po' mi sta simpatico (ma Doyler è il mio preferito - e ovviamente fa la fine che fa, c'era da aspettarselo XD - e Anthony viene subito dopo XDDD) in fondo in fondo in fondo lo considero sempre un coglione. Ormai c'ha questo marchio d'infamia e non se lo toglie. XD
(però che carino quando chiede a Doyler "dimmi se mi ami" X3)
