It full of great humor, actions, emotions.              I'm impressed with your likes. Ivanhoe is quite the epic and filled with very       "formal" yet an ancient way of speaking and writing.              L-o-n-g sentences!              I delved into to it to get a refresher.. and one of the first words that I did       *not* know right away was here: "The curse of St Withold upon these infernal       porkers!" said the swine-herd, after blowing his horn obstreperously,.." I       mean, "obstreperous" is not a word that anyone is likely to whip out in       conversation. |
