Hi Bookworms ,
These days I seem to be on some sort of Ancient Rome trip. It must have been reading 'The Persian Boy' which started it all off, but I recently read 'Spartacus', by Howard Fast, which comes highly recommended to anyone and everyone-a true classic, followed by 'I, Claudius', by Robert Graves, and I'm now currently busy with the sequel 'Claudius the God'. All fascinating well-researched stuff!
I have to add that again, I have my girlfriend to thank for introducing me to these gems. I'd always planned on reading Spartacus one day, but it was she who actually found it for me and then followed it up with the 'Claudius' novels.
Thank the heavens for well-read girlfriends!
Happy reading, y'all!
Dave.
