81

Today the title change is official: the Scandinavian 81: I bothered to figure out how to do it.  The address, at least for the moment, remains http://scandinavian78.com/ : I'll leave changing that, if it can be done, to more computer savy people than me.  (ie: your average eight year old.)

Over my upcoming vacation, I resolve  (1)  to set up a Wiki account for the 81, linked to this blog.  (Which I might then retitle "Scandinaviana")   (2)  to extensively chart my reading schedule  (3) to finish Heimskringla and several other books.

I'll include here an update of my bibliography in progress....
