Wow! Thanks Cleveland Okie ...This is a very interesting podcast presentation! -- some areas were buried in 50 feet of volcanic ash/debris...the papyri were discovered in 1752...untold numbers of scrolls were burned or thrown away before someone realised what they were! (this is from the first few minutes and I hope to listen to the rest of it still).
...found out about the Emily Austin book, "Living for Pleasure." I bought it and I'm reading it now, very interesting so far. After I finish it, I'll look for comments about it in this forum.
For ease of reference here is a link to the section of the forum set up for Austin's book:
Living for Pleasure: An Epicurean Guide to Life - Emily Austin
We may do a Zoom "book reading/review" starting end of April or beginning of May (or maybe in the fall).
