I can't believe this thread has so few pages! Read more people! At least a book a week, minimum!
Anyway, after my finishing the above, I've now moved back to nonfiction. I, Claudius was good. I can't say I totally loved it. It took a while to get into, but overall it was a very good read.
Right, this week's book then
Dan Jones is currently building up a reputation of being one of the all time great historians. A good history book needs to tell a story, but it also needs to be factual at the same time. This is hard balancing act to achieve for a lot of historians, but Dan Jones has always been able to absolutely nail the balance and write absolutely engrossing historical books.
This is the only Dan Jones book I haven't read, which is shocking considering this is an era of history I'm well versed in, but I'm willing to see what fresh take Dan Jones can bring to the table.
The epic War of the Roses. The war that inspired George R R Martin's ASOIAF and some of Shakespeare's greatest plays.
I haven't been this excited to read a book in a long time.
