bookshelves: 2009-other-nonfiction-and-essays
Not sure how to classify this one, as it's about a book or author, not a history itself (Thucydides). At any rate, I wouldn't read it until you've read Thucydides and ideally Herodotus, but if you have, it's extremely interesting. I'm reading more history of historians, lately, so this fits in well. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72538962 to: 428 AD: An Ordinary Year at the End of the Roman Empire (Hardcover) by Giusto Traina
bookshelves: 2009-other-nonfiction-and-essays
I enjoyed this book, but due to the subject it seemed rather slight, and I wondered if people who hadn't read in the period before could follow. In that I enjoy the period, I appreciated the book. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77819988 Sea of Poppies: A Novel (Hardcover) by Amitav Ghosh
