ARGH!!

Just got home from my mother's to discover I have left my copy of "Utopia" there, and I am nowhere near finished... anyone know if/where the text is online so I can still read it in time for Sunday? (my local libraries don't have it, I've already checked)

ARGH!!

There you go!

Thank you!!

The gutenberg translation is nice too, I read most of it there. You can either download it or read online.

I've only read the first few lines and it's *very* different to the version I was reading! My mum is posting it down so it may be with me Sat - would be good to have it on Sunday to compare translations. The version I have I bought in 1994 and yes, this is the first time I have got round to reading it!! (BTW I know the date because the receipt was inside, not because I am sad enough to remember all the dates I buy my books!)

Lols! Even I don't do that! It will be interesting to see the different translations, at least it's very short so it doesn't take long to read. (Bill's currently sitting on the sofa and reading it- it Latin of course!)

Here's hoping... my copy has arrived and I've made it to page 16 of 139 so far.... let's hope Maya needs lots of naps for the rest of the day!!

If electronic format is irksome, I've got a copy of it which I'm realistically not likely to reread so I can ferry it to you tomorrow afternoon or sometime similar if you so desire.

Cheers for this - my copy arrived in the post so I'm going to read that one but thanks for the offer.

Now whether I get it read in time for Bibliogoth tomorrow is another matter... I am on page 16 but having a 3 month old to look after makes reading just one page seem like a life-time achievement at times!

Sounds like you got the better version anyway!
