Like a Bandit, I made out. Like a bandit.
The list:
- William Shakespeare’s Star Wars – Still reading it, and while i detect clunky moments, when it’s on, it sizzles.
- Two Gentlemen of Lebowski – A friend of mine summed it up as “so much more spot-on than necessary.” I concur.
- World War One: A Short History – “In four years the world went from 1870 to 1940.” If anyone’s written a better sentence about this cataclysm, I have yet to read it.
- Poitiers 732: Charles Martel Turns the Islamic Tide. The Dark Ages have always fascinated me. Still working on it, but the expansion of Odo of Aquitaine’s role in the conflict is refreshing.
- Tiberius. As part of the ongoing Caligula Project. It’s a quick read, and plausible. I always figured Tiberius got a bum rap, and it was nice to see a veering from Livia as the all-powerful Spider Queen.
- Camp of the Saints. Controversial books that get translated into English? What’s not to love?
- And Another Thing… Well, I asked for it, didn’t I?
