#slightly belated summer of sutcliff #INTERNET ARCHIVE LET ME SEE MY BOYS #also the radio one is Weird... doesn't have that subtlety and beauty of the book really at all #then again the 70s one doesn't really either but it's also got low-budget charm and the most doe-eyed marcus ever #thirteen minutes into the radio program and esca just showed up (and I Love esca of course) but also I cannot deal with these accents #now I'm wondering if the pronunciation of cunoval as 'ka-NO-val' is the commonly used one? as well as aquila with the hard 'kw'#but then again latin in my own experience has had a lot of variation between speakers... I've been saying it as aquila with more 'kee'#but it's not like I ever talk eotn with people irl :/#aaaaaanyway. I want to reread some sutcliff right now but I don't have hard copies of anything on hand #and if I reread bonnie dundee right now I think it would harm me. hugh herriot a little too close to my heart to talk about ever.#sigh. guess I'll ask the public library and then be so very patient. this radio show is harming me but not in a cool nice way.
