What are you reading now?

[Thomas Thorne]

The Surratt Conference brings out my inner Vandal when it comes to books. I finished "The Finger In Lincoln's Brain." I am reading Bill Richter's 'The Assassinator" and who can provide more fireworks than Bill?

For a change of pace I am also reading "Rubicon" another book about ancient history by the remarkable Tom Holland. I have always been leery of classical and medieval history because our sources are so limited. Tom Holland is such a flamboyant, brilliant and witty writer you forget the limitations of his material.
