I am only halfway done with First Man in Rome (totally busy to read) but already starting another book:
About the World's Fair and HH Holmes (the serial killer).
Greetings, PoS. :2wave:
I read McCullough's 'First Man of Rome' some years ago, and her research on that era of Roman history was excellent! The book was totally engrossing, and to this day, I just don't like Sulla at all! As a matter of fact, when I look at what is happening in America's political world today, I am almost convinced that reincarnation is indeed possible, and those leaders have returned for another try!
Rome once ruled the known world, by basically using laws backed up by armies - similar to where we are today- and since it doesn't look like we've gotten any smarter than they were back then, I wonder which "hordes" might eventually succeed in their attempt to destroy our way of life. . . like they did Rome a thousand years ago? :shock:
I'm currently reading some old Edgar Casey books published in the 1940s which talk about earth changes caused by changing weather conditions. As one example, he stated that Atlanta would be a thriving seaport, and when I looked at a map, I thought.. . "OMG!" :wow:
