Double Your Pleasure

After yesterday's Catullus thread, I was thinking, yet again, oh, why didn't I ever pick up The Latin Sexual Vocabulary? And then I thought, I shall! I zipped over to Amazon to get the details. You know how they offer you discounts when you buy two books together?

Better Together, Amazon said. Buy this book with Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis.

Jeez! Do they want us to write our smutty fanfic in Latin now?

I'm just going to go clear my cookie file...

I'm not even at that level yet; this is all being self-taught out of desire to be able to create believable spells for my fiction. This is how I acquire 90% of my knowledge - fandom obsessions.

So, any recs for good Latin textbooks that I can use while not in a classroom setting? [g]

Damn, I meant to get back to you on this and I forgot. But I don't have any recs for you, I'm afraid. I did all my Latin in the classroom and because of a gap of several years in my uni education, I ended up using two different sets of texts and getting confused since some stuff I never formally covered.

The text I remember was called "Reading Latin" but I'm not sure how to judge if it would be any good to work through on your own.

But if you want to look up Latin words, etc, check out Perseus:

And you can always run things by me, if you like. My fancy degree ought to be good for *something*. *g*
