Readering.

So I started reading The Story of Civilization, which after just ten pages is totally awesome.  The writing is just...amazing.  "Most history is guessing; the rest is prejudice."  GUH.  PERFECTION.  WILL DURANT, HOW YOU WRITE MY FEELINGS.

Anyone have any non-fiction, especially non-fiction on ancient history, they want to recommend?

I've been reading No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin, which won a Pulitzer. It's taking me time to get through, but that's not because it isn't good. I'd highly recommend it.
