I like the history combined with fiction (or the other way around). I will not provide any spoilers, but I find the book very pleasant, surely not a historical document, but this is what I was looking for - a "light" book, perfect for 30 minutes - 1 hour before sleep. I read and enjoyed his book about Claudius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPK Posted January 15 · Supporter Author Share Posted January 15 I started the book about Napoleon. I'm about 25% through and thoroughly enjoying it. I also picked this up from Amazon - has yet to be delivered: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a list of all of them, with descriptions, at his website. See http://www.adriangoldsworthy.com/romanfiction.htm . There are now six of them -- he's been putting out one every year, in addition to his non-fiction books. I'm always astonished at how productive some people manage to be! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol_Invictus Posted January 15 · Member Share Posted January 15 So many good book suggestions in this thread! I recently finished reading: My favorite is the spell for transforming into a snake with human legs, e.g. https://book-of-the-dead.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/explore/books/spells/87-1 I'm now reading and I quite enjoy the sharp British wit of the latter. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard's book finally arrived over the weekend and it's a hoot! I love her no-nonsense myth busting approach peppered with a dry sense of humour. Peaking behind the curtain is her forte. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
