Current Reading

This blog is primarily for me to blog my responses to books that I'm reading. Sometimes I blog about other stuff too, though.

Defeated by Greek and Roman generals

I tried to read Plutarch, but his accounts of ancient generals mostly didn't do it for me. I skimmed more and more, even when reading about Alexander or the brothers Grachus. I think this book is better as a reference when I'm interested in a particular person, not as a 1200 page read-through.

Sorry.
