By Conn Iggulden
Its a fiction novel about Julius Caesar. I love these era of books. From the Roman Empire up until the fall of rome which of course covers Roman withdrawal from Britain and the growth of Britain. (See Author Jack Whyte for some great books about the demise of Roman Britain and the rise of the Authorian tales).
Great stuff. |

Wed 1/25/2006 5:51a | In between books right now. I need to pick one for my plane trip on Friday though. I am leaning towards "Son of a Witch" by Gregory Maguire, but not sure I want to lug the big old hardcover around with me. I wanted to reread "Memoirs of a Geisha" but I haven't found my copy yet. I may go with "Confessions of a Shopaholic" or maybe "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz if I can find it.
How many of you have tons of books that you haven't got around to reading yet? I always think one of these days I will catch up. |

Wed 1/25/2006 8:17a | A whole library from my father-in-law for our library in the new house. I feel so guilty not having much time to read as people here incredibly read voraciously. |

Wed 1/25/2006 8:22a | My hands up too.
My problem is when I get time to read is I tend to go back to old favorites instead of picking up something new. |

Wed 1/25/2006 8:28a | I also have a bad used book addiction. I get them for pennies from the library bookshop. Our local thrift store has all the latest bestsellers in pristine condition for 99cents. I guess I have a lot of neighbors who buy books and read them quickly and drop them off. |

Wed 1/25/2006 4:56p | I love unabridged books on tape/cd. I get the content of the books and I also get to where I'm driving, or my housework done. If your library doesn't have recorded books to borrow a subscribtion service seems to be the most economical way to go. |

Thu 1/26/2006 6:01a | A lot of us have a book buying addiction it would seem. I love books, I can't be in a book store and not buy something. I love giving books as gifts too.
Maybe we should start a LP book swap for books we have finished with..... |
