dead languages
Very sorry for not posting for so long. I will try and write more often over the next several months.
Do you know today (the 23rd) is the very first day of Autumn!
Happy Fall! :)
And to make this post a wee bit interesting --
I read an article this past week about how nearly half of the languages spoken today are in danger of extinction. A language actually dies about every two weeks.
Being the foreign language fan that I am (I'm currently studying Italian), this made me rather sad. You can find more info at National Geographic here and here.
Although, who said dead languages aren't cool and shouldn't be learned even if they are 'dead'? Latin, anyone?

This is life seen through the eyes of a writer. A blog that critically examines literature, music, and film. NB, initials which coincidently coinside with the Latin words "nota bene" (mark well), belong to the blog poster, a bibliophile who likes to haunt libraries and book stores, talk about all things bookish, and ramble at any length on things regarding literature. Many of the articles posted here were written as essays for high school and college.
