Though it's quite a range:
-Parallel translations of Euripides and Pushkin
-French Politics, 1660s-1789 and fuckloads of other French history books
-Russian and Austrian History from aroudn the same period
-British Civil War
-Loads of translations of Greek tragedy and comedy
-How to write into Latin and Greek
-Dracula
And they're fake spats, they've got punched holes but they're not very well made. Were £35 though ^_^ My old pair are falling apart, so I swooped in and got them!

What are you studying with all that lot? I'm familiar with the British Civil War, and I did do a bit of Euripides when I was in school, along with some other Greek tragedies, but Austrian history??
Most of mine were on Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay, ranging from 1500 to now, politics, history and economics.
Spats need to be brought back...

But I did History A level, and we could choose to do wider European study or in-depth British. I hate British, so I chose Austria. It's quite important, actually, studied Marie Antoinette's brother and mother, they were quite the world power. Also did Louis XIV-VI (and the regents), James I, Charles I (of England) and Peter and Catherine the Great of Russia.
I agree. I have a lot of shoes. Many of them sparkly.

I did Classics till GCSE.
Did history at A-Level, ended up doing the Tudors and Stuarts, the Reformation, Ottoman Turkey 1453-1620, Spanish and Portuguese Exploration, the Russian Revolution of 1905, and the French Revolution.
I have few shoes. Most of them lack sparkles

Though most of us b3tans are!
I wish I could remember what the name for the slave trade monopoly was. It's annoying me. It's a mixture between hispaniola and areola. In my head, at least.
Men need more sparkly shoes.

And I could never remember if it had two s or not.
A bit like the doctor and I couldn't remember this morning who was the actor in The Pianist; I thought it was someone called Aiden. We got there in the end.

I finished on the 11th. Before you kill me though it's only midyears for us, my end of year ones are horrible and much more drawn out and stressful.
