What I read last month.
Of special interest to political junkies is Niall Ferguson's ultimately disappointing but big look at Bush (and American in general) foreign policy in Colossus and my long overdue introduction to Game of Thrones.
Also, that famous book by Nabokov, and what that famous book club in tehran found in it; the return of Swallows and Amazons; a quick look at morals and manners; and more Roman classics (Lucretius, Nicomachus, Cicero) supplemented by the excellent historical mysteries of Steven Saylors and John Maddox Roberts. Enjoy!
