I'm still working on this one, but it's for a class I'm teaching therefore it's work related. ^
For fun I'm starting on The Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinople by Jonathan Phillips.

For fun I'm starting on The Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinople by Jonathan Phillips. Excellent book, although Phillips doesn't quite do justice to the outrage and sense of betrayal many Eastern Christians still feel over this event. And, less well known, is the crusade actually launched against Eastern Christendom by the Teutonic Knights. If it weren't for a brilliant military victory by the Russian saint, Alexander Nevsky, the Eastern half of Christendom might've been destroyed. |

Recent books include Le Morte d'Arthur (Mallory), which I read because Lawhead did such a great job with his treatment of the subject. Let me warn you, Mallory is tough to read.
Wicked and Son of a Witch (Gregory), all I will say is that they're interesting. Dorothy comes off as the "Ugly American"; everyone in Oz is fallen and needs a savior, but there is none. It's a much better series than Harry Potter, but definitely NOT for children.
And I just reread the Song of Albion.
Who cares about HP7, I'm on pins and needles waiting for Scarlet!!!

I'm hoping this is a decent work, but after having previously read Runciman's 3 volume classic History of the Crusades I just hope to avoid disappointment. |

The crusades were an awful, terrible series of tragedies.

Just read a very interesting book called Colossians Remixed. It argued that first-century Rome was a totalitarian empire and compared it to today's empire of consumerism.
