Very productive so far this year, another book done for our provisional target of 25. So that makes it 4 so far. Not bad considering how unproductive I was last year. I do still read several at a time but that’s how it works for me and I am quite enjoying the Kindle Colorsoft too.

This book is a very fun read from two highly respected historians. Some interesting and funny topics like for example the history of St Patrick which makes the whole fuss over him seem like Americanised bullshit. It seems he wasn’t even Irish either but like me and Welsh. And the myth around him could have been a mix of another person and them become merged as one.

The Dan Brown section was also funny and their investigation into the basis of The Da Vinci Code and the inspirations and fiction behind the “facts”.

Overall very enjoyable and I wasn’t familiar with the podcast before this book but I am familiar with both historians and I will check out the podcast when time permits. As well as read their new book The Rest Is History Returns.

I am a third of the way through my next book too, its just a short one Babylon Revisited by F Scott Fitzgerald.
