    Viking Age Iceland and Medieval Iceland by Jesse Byock. Both are pretty good books if you like the time period. Iceland has a more interesting history than most of Europe at the time.

    Watsup Mouzafphaerre? Are you going on a game show?
    Nope. I'm done with the first 15 volumes, that's why...

    Just finished a bio of Lawrence of Arabia by Liddell Hart.

    Still perusing "Righteous Victims: a History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-1998". I've been reading it on and off.

    Next up is either Liddell Hart's bio of General Sherman or Livy's The War with Hannibal. Not sure. I got them both as gifts. Just love getting books as gifts.

    Will probably read the bio of Sherman and save The war with Hannibal for the front porch when I can fall asleep outside in spring. Also planning on getting Sherman's memoirs to read this summer. $120 at Amazon for the hardcover! But I'm getting it. Also getting the original 1922 text of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence. That one is about $75 hardcover. Really looking forward to that.

    Damn those books are expensive.
