    Walter Goffart's Rome's Fall and After. And about fifty other things. Damn thesis paper.

    Cheers.

    Right now? "Motor Trend."

    I assume you mean book-wise though. The Camulod Chronicles, by Jack Whyte. The First book in the series is Skystone. Also reading The Roman Army at War, by Adrian Goldsworthy.

    Yesterday I finished "Rubicon" by Tom Holland (which was great by the way) and I have just started "The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece" by Victor Davis Hanson.

    Those are ones from cover to cover. Also a lot of articles, and various books and articles for an essay.
