Who's got my Machiavelli?

[theweaselking]

So, I recommend Niccolo Machiavelli's "Discourses on Titus Livy" as required reading for anyone who wants to deal with modern society. As such, my copy gets a bit of a workout from time to time.

I've lent it out.

And I don't recall to whom.

Who's got my book? I'd like it back, if you're finished. Or if you're not finished, really, given that you could get an HTML copy or a plain text copy for free, if you still haven't finished it despite having it for long enough that I'd forgotten it was missing until I looked for it tonight.

And that, of course, if you need an English translation. It's actually better in Italian, I just don't have a paper copy of that one in the original. If you speak Italian and are local, I could loan you my The Prince, but you'll have to look online for The Discourses.[1].

So, yeah. My book! My poor, lost, forlorn book, all alone in the universe! Bring my poor book home to me?


[1]: Which is the subject of an entire separant rant. Let's summarise it thus: That's the perfect book if you want to be the person Machiavelli wrote it for, knowing in advance who the "perfect ruler" was and finding justification to fit.
