Thanks to
strange_complex, I have signed up to
blog a Penguin Classic: They are going to send me a copy of
Karl Marx' Early Writings, in return for which I have promised to review it within 6 weeks of receipt.
Free book! Yay!
(Only available to UK and Eire residents)

In other news,
avariel_wings has persuaded me to try my hand RPing someone I'm going to have to do actual research for. So in that vein, can anyone recommend places to start learning about the educational system, philosophical discourse and especially the status of women in the 18th century?
Just remember the first century started with 00, and you're sorted.
What's your favourite "classic" book? Or who is your favourite "classic" author?
I'm really enjoying even the introduction to Vindication - it's disturbingly still relevant, isn't it?
I WANT TO BLOG A GODDAMN PENGUIN CLASSIC.
To think I nearly went to work for them. What, their US offices are too cheap to give us free books?
... actually, I believe that, as the reason I didn't go to work for them was that they interviewed me and then went on a six-month hiring freeze. D:
