  1. I started Quo Vadis last night and got through the first 50 + pages. I closed the book. This is not worth my reading time. Once I read that a slave girl who is hopelessly in love with Petronius clings to and kisses his marble statue in the tepidarium ( most highly ornamented room in baths)...that was enough for me. Ridiculous. I'll watch the movie (1951) with D. Kerr, R. Taylor and Peter Ustinov instead.... I just wanted to give you an update!

    1. LOL! Thank you, Nancy, for my first laugh of the day! Isn't that like a teenager kissing her pillow? ;-)

      Shall we make a deal? I'll read it one day and let you know if it's worth it. There must be something about it that has made it stand the test of time.

      Thanks for the update!
