Much to my delight Enchanted April came up as a Jeopardy question last night.

Cool!

The book I started reading this week (which will occupy me most of this month) is The End of the Ancient World and the Beginnings of the Middle Ages by French historian Ferdinand Lot. I originally read it some 60 years ago, and had recently gotten a copy by interlibrary loan so that I could refer to it while doing a retrospective review; but I quickly came to the conclusion that I couldn't do it justice without a full reread.

Sounds like an interesting history to read!

It actually is, if you're interested in that sort of thing (which, being a history major, I am). It can also be a challenging one, though, since the author was writing for his fellow historians and graduate students in the field, rather than for general readers. (Of course, I'm getting more out of it now than I did as a kid, although I learned things from it even on the first read!)

Not too interested when I was younger, but things change, lol... this also seems like a history era of which I haven't seen, or learned, much.

I'm expecting to finish it by the end of the month (it's actually due back at the lending library on Dec. 17, but I'm trusting that they'll renew it), and hope to have my review up soon after that.
