This is awesome enough to stand on its own, and even if it wasn't, it's Queen's day today in the Netherlands, so I'm about to spend the day looking for treasure in other people's junk. I can't wait! For those of you who are not otherwise engaged today, I have something awesome: audio books of the Iliad and Odysseia by Hómēros. Courtesy of Librivox. Enjoy!
