Om mig The current picture is my 3x-great-grandfather Ellis Branson (or is 4 times great?). I enjoy reading, reading, reading history, historical fiction, British historical fiction and humor, some crime novels, spy stories, and books about the Old West.
Right now I'm reading The Last Empress by Anchee Min, The Ruling Caste: Imperial Lives in the Victorian Raj by David Gilmour, and Resurrecting Empire: Western Footprints and America's Perilous Path in the Middle East by Rashid Khalidi.



Om mit bibliotek On ratings. My average rating for the books in my library is currently 3.99, which may seem high. Maybe I'm an easy grader, but I don't think so. I'm not evaluating a random set of books; if I was, then I might expect a bell curve distribution.
But my library is not random, of course, it's mine and and I ought to be able to select books that I am going to enjoy or find worthwhile or even both. As times passes I find myself getting pickier in what I read. After all there's less time available than there are books to read.

The best book I have read so far (and I have read MANY Augustus books) was Augustus: A Novel by John Edward Williams.
You don't have to be a scholar of Rome to enjoy it. It is written in epistolary form. It is a series of fictional letters from different people who lived during Augustus' time along with memoir and journal excerpts. It was such an interesting way to learn even more about what people may have been like as well as Augustus. Also, John Williams' writing was beautiful; almost every letter contained a poetic passage.

Thanks for your comment, and in response, I think P.G. Wodehouse is great!
I like all his characters, Wooster, Jeeves, Psmith, Mr.Mulliner, the Drones Club, etc....
While I can't say that I've read them all, I can say that I've read them *most*...
Glad to hear that you're a Biggins fan too... He doesn't get enough (or any) good press....
You may already know but it bears repeating that McBooks Press is reprinting all the Biggins' novels - including his last book, Tomorrow the World.
That's important as Tomorrow the World was printed in an infinitesmally small print run in the UK... It's a great book, but used copies (if you can find one) run into the hundreds of dollars!
Thanks, again for the comment.
