wish my other granddad lived long enough to teach me to hunt
The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome by Michael ParentiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Invaluable crash course in Late Republic Rome for the layman. Read it mostly on the beach, so when discouraged at how little has changed in politics and class struggle, I could at least stare at something calming and beautiful. The plutocratic playbook is essentially unchanged for millennia, wild!
