Books to Help Build a Classical Education Library (Lower Bevendean BN2)
Hello everyone, I am in the process of building a small library focused on classical education for myself, my children, and, God willing, future generations. Rather than buying everything new, I thought I would ask whether anyone has books sitting on their shelves that they no longer need. I am looking for books covering subjects such as: * Theology and comparative religion * Philosophy * Liberal arts * Classical literature * History and civilisation * Poetry * Rhetoric, logic and ethics * Political philosophy * Science and mathematics (especially classic works) I'm particularly interested in authors such as Shakespeare, Homer, Virgil, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Cicero, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, Chaucer, Cervantes, Milton, John Locke, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, G.W.F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Søren Kierkegaard, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, John Henry Newman, Edmund Burke, Alexis de Tocqueville, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and many other classic authors. I'm also very happy to receive collections of older books, even if they don't fall exactly into the categories above, as long as they have educational or literary value. If you have any books you no longer want, I would be very grateful to give them a new home. I'm happy to collect at a time convenient for you. Thank you very much.

Adult Bicycle (Male or Unisex (Lower Bevendean BN2)
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone might have a spare adult bicycle that they no longer need and would be willing to pass on. Unfortunately, my bicycle was recently stolen, and as a student I'm on a very limited budget, so replacing it has been difficult. I use a bike to get around, so it would make a huge difference to me. I'm ideally looking for a **men's bike**, but I'd be just as grateful for a **unisex bike** if that's what's available. It doesn't need to be perfect—I'm happy to clean it up or do a few minor repairs if needed, as long as it's safe to get back on the road. I'm based in **Brighton** and can collect at a time that's convenient for you. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. If you have a bicycle that you'd be happy to give a new home, I'd be incredibly grateful. Please feel free to send me a message. Many thanks. Jun
