IDK, I can totally see a young Minerva deciding she didn't want to talk to the other peons on the bus and pretending to read a book on arimathacy (sp?) in Ancient Gaelic to throw everybody off.

[asecretchord]

As opposed to modern Greek? And what does Minerva have to do with it?

*is confused*

[cushlamochree]

So wait, you carry around the Ancient Greek Harry Potter at all times?

[(Anonymous)]

Minerva McGonagall (because Harry Potter) or Minerva the goddess (because Ancient Greek, though she'd have been called Athena by the Greeks)?

[(Anonymous)]

I read Harry Potter in German when I take the subway to work. People still bother me. I guess I should try Greek.

[(Anonymous)]

People talk to you on public transportation? Where do you live OP, I want go there because all I get is smartphone addicts.

[(Anonymous)]

not OP, but you should come to Ames, Iowa. There is a fantastic bus system, and people will talk to you on the bus. Usually, though, they'll back off if you seem reluctant to talk to them.

[(Anonymous)]

Hell yeah, Iowa! Although you should come to Iowa City, not Ames. Hawkeyes>>>>>>>>>Cyclones

See, that's such a good overall culture - you have the option to meet people or not and not be stuck in the opposite situation.

This book seems like a good conversation starter. Huh, and it only costs... $36 on Amazon. A bit seep, but oh well.

[shortysc22]

I don't know where you are, but I just bought the Ancient Greek edition with the new British children's cover for only $16 in January off of amazon.

Honestly? I like the new cover better. ebay might be another option, I got the Irish edition for only $7 there.

[quantumreality]

I want to get the Norwegian versions one of these days. :P

Text: To put people off talking to me on the train, I pretended to be reading Harry Potter in Ancient Greek.

I know the book so well and recognize enough words it seems like I’m reading it, not just remembering it.

But I don’t know if Minerva would approve of me.

[diet_poison]

That's awesome.

Why on Earth would Minerva disapprove?

[(Anonymous)]

I have Harry Potter in Latin, to study Latin.

But honestly your method is confusing me. Any foreign language book would have the same effect.

And tbh I think I would be more inclined to talk to someone reading Harry Potter, especially in an ancient language. Because it's interesting, and everyone knows Harry Potter.

You'd be better off reading a non-famous English book.

FIVE POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't talk to you (I talk to no one), but I would keep peeking the book to get a better glimpse of the title and be sure of the language it was in, because I would be intrigued. (I generally like ereaders, but I am a little sad it makes it harder for me to see what people are reading on public transit.)
