    Minucius said; "Dictator, you have on this day won two victories, one over Hannibal through your valour, and one over your colleague through your wisdom and kindness. By the first you saved our lives, and by the second you taught us a great lesson, vanquished as we were by our enemy to our shame, and by you to our honour and safety. I call you by the excellent name of Father, because there is no more honourable name which I can use; and yet a father's kindness is not so great as this kindness bestowed by you. My father did but beget me, while to you I owe not only my own salvation, but also that of all these men of mine."

    I was just invited to a book club where the current members are reading through HOL. It's so exciting to watch and listen to their reactions and commentary.

    This is what prevents me from enjoying that game. I can't play it at my own pace, I'm always scrambling to adhere to a schedule.
