Totally different kind of book...but you might appreciate "Fates worse than Death" by Vonnegut. It's pee in your pants funny and super insightful at the same time.
"love In The Time Of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I'm 68 pages in. I think it's going to be a good book.
"Hinge of Fate" by Winston Churchill. Fourth in a series about WWII. I'm somewhat of a Churchillianphile. And of course my Bible, several different versions. Love history.
Have you read any other books of this sort? I love Marks Daily Apple, but I thought The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf is a lot more interesting than the primal blueprint. Mark's book dumbs everything down and he tries to tie everything into little stories about Grok and his caveman family. I think part of the issue is that I had been reading MDA for years before I tried reading his book and at that point there was no new information for me. Robb's book is more technical, with some good anecdotes. I think the science part of it is interesting, and when I have to recommend a book to someone that is skeptical of the paleo/primal lifestyle, I'd rather recommend the book written by a guy with a PhD in biochemistry.
"I remember having to read, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" years ago as an assignment." "In high school?" "Why no....Elementary, my dear Watson."
I wasn't familiar with this author, so I looked him up and the series you mention. Looks intriguing. What do you think if thus book and series?
I bought all three on a whim when I was in a small independent bookstore and it took me a couple of tries to get into the first book (The Forgotten Legion). It's good historical fiction, the main characters are well-developed and the author acknowledges in the notes any license he has taken with historical facts. To be quite frank, having recently watched Spartacus on Netflix helped me to get into it this time since part of my brain was already "in the world". I've just started The Silver Eagle and it picks right up from the first book.
