(Hopefully this isn't considered double-posting.) I asked about books in the Monastery and Big John adviced me to present my question here too. So here goes... Do you think the following books are good for a layman to read?
Barry Cunliffe: Iron Age Britain
Peter Harbison: Pre-Christian Ireland: From the First Settlers to the Early Celts
Hornblower & Spawforth: The Oxford Companion to Classical Civilization
Rene Grousset: Empire of the Steppes
J.E. Curtis: Forgotten Empire: The World of Ancient Persia
George Rawlinson: Phoenicia: History of a Civilization
H. G. Rawlinson: Bactria, The History Of A Forgotten Empire
Romila Thapar: Early India: From the Origins to AD 1300
Recommendations on other titles covering the same subjects are welcome too. Preferably not very expensive ones though.
