Finishing upColleen’s 4/7th Masters of Rome- Caesar’s Women.
Caesar enters center stage facing off against the Boni reminiscent of Sulla vs Marius.
Learning to think like a politician- maybe I should stop with these books 🙋
Lesson- hide your strength

@DarkoS_Art @nonregemesse So killing Turks is the barometer for greatest
Ok, not saying I agree or disagree but interesting nonetheless

Belize is entirely overrated

3/7 Colleen’s 1st man of Rome series. Enjoyable, getting long in the tooth. 100’s of pages devoted to the ever changing Roman political landscape. Started in the 2nd book, while fascinating wanting more investment in character development and events outside of Rome itself.

Finishing up The Grass Crown- 2/7 book series by Colleen McCullough centering around the fall of Rome’s Republic.
Lovely, immersive in a way not thought possible considering time period, and a real commitment: it’s really 3 novels in one.

Trust- Hernan Diaz.
Liked not loved. Took longer to figure out what was going on than it should have.
Ending enjoyable
Overall a pleasant and forgettable book

[Ant @Imbeingtold]

Would have loved for certain aspects to be investigated further:
Gene editing
Societal conflict
What is it to be alive
Possible that was the point, to think for yourself

Kazuo Ishigurho’s Klara and The Sun. An introspective novel that explored what the world could be and maybe should be safeguarded against. What is life, what is it to be human?

@SuperZe13656532 You’re right, so good. I watched Game of Thrones, I’ll have to check out the Song of Fire and Ice series too, thanks!

The First Man In Rome, Colleen’s 1st of 7 in her Master’s of Rome Series is an immersion in the Roman world beyond assumption. Centering between 110-100BC, enter Marius and Sulla.
There world is our world less smart phones: War, politics, migration, money/taxes, etc.

Ordered the other 5 books in the series, going to peruse some “lighter” reading in the interim.
Couldn’t ask for anything more in her writing, just require a serious investment in time to tackle.

[Ant @Imbeingtold]

Disproves my notion that the majority of success is luck and timing. The former still being required, how one individual can truly shape history and the events of future generations.

Stumbled across Colleen McCullough’s Caesar, not knowing it was the 5th book in a much larger series: Masters of Rome.
Written as if one lived in the times.
Let the dice fly high!
