Painting has gone quite well, thanks for asking, GOLLUM. I'm painting the whole interior of my cave because I hate white walls...
Mika Waltari's historical novels like The Egyptian, The Etruscan, The Roman or The Dark Angel are really worth reading. I've read the egyptian and the etruscan long time ago and I really enjoyed them a lot. As a matter of fact your reminding of them made me feel like reading them again.
I think the Wolf's bride's first edition is a collector's item really.
I have lots of quite old books, as my grandfather's brother was a published author and he collected books of course (and he had something to do with the same literary liberal group than Mika Waltari).
Ahh, cold beer - the nectar of underground gods...
