Not included: the Modern Library edition of Don Quixote that Dad got, which will be replaced soon with the intended Penguin Clothbound Classics edition because, frankly, it looks like Rutherford’s translation is leagues above Putnam’s, even if Putnam does include a shitton of useful notes.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
