Oh, heavens!  I haven’t accomplished much on the spins.  I did manage to find my copy of Revelations of Divine Love, so that’s promising.  Otherwise I :

• am reading Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations but haven’t finished it
• have begun Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs on my Kindle (the children’s version) and also started one volume of the original.  I’m planning to finish the Kindle version, which is all I committed to; the original is both too long and too difficult to find for me to commit to it now
• I began Aristotle’s Ethics as a course quite awhile ago.  I plan to finish … but ….

The Classics Club Spin #25 has arrived and I’ve decided to jump right in and participate.  With my reduced reading time, I wonder why, but I did finish my #23 spin and might even have finished my #24 spin if I didn’t misplace the book. 🙄  In any case, here we go again.
