Horace, Brando, and Scandinavian mysteries

Image of the day. From a rare version of Horace’s Odes in the Bodleian Library, written and illuminated by William Morris. According to the Folio Society, which is working on a limited edition: "It is a small jewel-like book and the intricacy of the gilding is quite breath-taking – and fiendishly hard to replicate in facsimile. Here is a particularly lovely page, which certainly bears the influence of Burne-Jones, who quite possibly contributed the delicate portraits." (Can she let a few weeks go by without putting up a page from an illuminated book, you ask? The answer, sadly, is "no".)

"Grrrr"

Quote of the day: "You cannot train a tiger to act, although the great Stella Adler did a good job with Marlon Brando." (David Denby in The New Yorker, re the film version of Life of Pi .)
Scandinavian mystery of the day: The Boy in the Suitcase. This one grabs you by the neck from the first few pages and never lets go until the thrills-and-chills dénouement. It's written collaboratively by two women, in a pairing reminiscent of Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, the wife-and-husband team of detective writers from Sweden.
Literary quiz of the day: match the well-known book title to its alternate title. I expect you Gleaners to do well, because some of these have floated by here lately!
