Utopia is a … really interesting read from the perspective of the 21st century:

“Wisest of men, he [Plato] saw that the one and only road to the welfare of all lies through the absolute equality of goods. I doubt whether such equality can ever be achieved where property belongs to individuals. However abundant goods may be, when everyone tries to get as much as he can for his own exclusive use, a handful of men end up sharing the whole pile, and the rest are left in poverty.”

• three pages of a new chapter of tolerably well acquainted
• notes on Utopia
• the original fantasy novel
• a f!Darcy/Elizabeth fic where they meet at Rosings (it’s a direct what-if rather than a retelling à la First Impressions)
• more f!Faramir fic, this time with bonus Denethor
• the original Regency novel, about a young woman who has to turn to her two glamorous, but self-absorbed and semi-estranged half-siblings to escape a terrible marriage (I meant it to be a romance, but it’s predictably about 10% romance to 90% family drama)
• eleven pages of notes on Machiavelli >_<
