Caesar - Colleen McCullough

As a history buff, this is the best historical fiction novel I have come across regarding Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul and Germania and the end of the Republican era in 49 BC Rome.

For people who are interested in Roman/Celtic/Germanic military history written by a recognized authority on Rome.

What do you think about Edward Rutherford and James Michener?

[oldcrow]

Gods of Death....forget the authors name...it's a story of how the author, a retired Israelli speciall forces dude, went arounf the world tryin to stop snuff film production.....fuckin wild book....and quite arousing I might add.

[suede70]

Should have said really the two novels at the start are about 1640s England and about the French Revolution (as seen through Robspierre, Desmoulins and Danton)...the last by Hilary Mantel is excellent and highly recommended if youre into history

Tim Severins Viking trilogy is also excellent historical fiction....

[Freiherr Bauer]

"Assassini" - Thomas Gifford

[Mike]

What do you think about Edward Rutherford and James Michener?

I've read quite a bit of Michener (Chesapeake, Hawaii, The Source, etc.), I like the way he always starts from the primordial algae/sludge stage with his subjects/books and then brings them up to date on a historical timeline.

I haven't read much of Rutherfords work, although he has a reputation for writing great books on Ireland and England. I've been in a Roman phase for the last 6 months or so, I did the Celts before that.

Yeah, that's what I like about Michener too.
My favorite Rutherford book was Sarum. It's about England obviously.. anything about England is good.. to me anyway :) It even starts out like a Michener book.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's what I like about Michener too.
My favorite Rutherford book was Sarum. It's about England obviously.. anything about England is good.. to me anyway :) It even starts out like a Michener book.

Is Sarum a good place to start with his work? Would you recommend another of his works first?

[Blue Blood]

The rise of Theodore Roosevelt -Edmund Morris
This is the third book i've read on T.R.,and the best so far.

[Diana E]

Is Sarum a good place to start with his work? Would you recommend another of his works first?

I am biased towards English history so I would say yes. It revolves around times from the geological building of the British Isle and up to current times. It follows the history of a few families. The family lines are carried through the generations. Right up my alley, so yeah, i would recommend Sarum first. I think Sarum was his first novel if i'm not mistaken.

I must admit though my interest wained after they got into the 18th century. I find that time period incredibly boring in general.

I agree completely, nothing puts me instantly to sleep like 18th Century English or American history. Like you I like the ancient and early history, you can keep the Dickens and Jane Austin crap though...

I LOVE R.D EXCEPT for his last two books(A Star Called Henry and its sequel "Oh!Play That Thing")
Yes Paddy Clarke and The Woman Who Walked Into Doors were very different from fun and wit of the The BarryTown Books but they still had some humor and likability.

The Henry books are HORRIBLE! Theres none of Roddys wit evident and theyre long and tedious reads........I was shocked how shit they were.
I havent ran across any'hardcore' RD fans who liked them........

[OiMommy!]

ah i read them during a dark lonely time , i saw a differnt RD , but i did when i read The Woman Who Walked Into A Door
See? The Woman Who Walked Into Doors was different *however* even with such a tough subject he still injected some fondness and humor in bits(reading about their Courtship was very cute) but The Henry books ,to me at least,was too heavily with black humor and although Im the first one to curse like a sailor and talk about sex he dissapointed me by seemingly to rely on it so heavily.
I get he wanted to do a different take an a story of a Volunteer but ,for someone has clever as R.D,had he gone a different route couldve made something MUCH better.
"Oh! Play That Thing" was just silly with him escapin The Troubles to go to American and fuck around in the Jazz Scene!!
I couldnt finish it which is rare for me as usually,no matter how shit it is,I try so hard to stick with a book.

I've just had a couple of Bryson books for summer holiday and they were extremely funny. Also recommendable is Peter Robinson who writes great crime stories with a detective in the Yorkshire Dales.

I have read that book too. And I have it in english as I bought it in the states. I am really happy that I had the opportunity to read it, it changed a part of my eating habits...
I asked myself too, how it would be when it would be turned into a movie...I wish it was, cause especially the parts of the workers and working safety would wake some people up I think...

Caesar - Colleen McCullough

As a history buff, this is the best historical fiction novel I have come across regarding Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul and Germania and the end of the Republican era in 49 BC Rome.

For people who are interested in Roman/Celtic/Germanic military history written by a recognized authority on Rome.

The Mole People by Jennifer Toth. It's about the people who live in the subway tunnels beneath New York. Pretty interesting. There's also a movie on Ondemand right now called Dark Days that's about the same stuff.

Except that book was pretty thoroughly debunked. Sure there are homeless people that will sleep in subway/sewer/maintenance tunnels, but not the way that Toth described. She's got some very sketchy facts too, like the amount of abandoned tunnels beneath NY, or the number of levels below ground in Grand Central.

So if you find it interesting, keep in mind it's interesting as (mostly, if not entirely) fiction.

Really? Out of curiousity, where did you hear that her book was mostly fiction? I just watched that documentry called Dark Days, and it was pretty much the same thing. It was the real thing too. The only difference was that in the end the homeless were actually put into apartments and homes by Amtrak.

There was a big stink about that book here when it came out, all kinds of people talking about it. Here's links to a couple:

http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/abandoned/mole-people.html

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/040305.html

So yeah, there are homeless people that will sleep in the tunnels (especially maintenance tunnels and a couple of abandoned or little-used stations). But it's not some huge, organized society like the Toth book says.

I haven't lived here even a year yet, so there's still lots of stuff to see. There's even some cool shit in Seattle and Tacoma. Seattle has a guided tour through the "old underground" Seattle. My boyfriend and I went on it and went off by ourselves into the blocked off sections. I concur, old cities kick ass. :)

if you want to talk about messed up in the head, you should read dead souls by nikolai gogol. i had to stop reading for weeks after reading that one to give my brain a rest. gogol in his later years was driven to religious fanatacism and eventually starved himself to death after burning a large portion of his work. so you can only imagine the things he'd write about.

Strega by Andrew Vachss. The one thing I like about NYC better then LA....they have street vendors with tables full of books rather than bootleg dvd's.

I picked up 4 Vachss books while I was out there, pretty good. This is the third one Ive read. Sometimes it gets a little annoying when dude is referencing his other reads in a book I'm reading, like he's tring to advertise....bt that's the only bad thing I have to say about this dude's writing.

I was going to say exactly that. I can think of one case where the book wasn't as good as the movie. I recently finished Club Dumas by Arturo Perez-Reverte. This is the story that the the Nineth Gate movie with Johnny Depp was based on. The book goes into exquisite detail along a subplot concerning the Three Muskateers by Alexander Dumas. Having not read that coupled with the fact that this subplot was irrelevant really made the story worse than the movie.

I dug on Strega a lot....although the ending was a little tame for my taste. One hell of a book over-all though.

The other book of his I read was Dead & Gone. It was probably my favorite so far. Sucks that his dog Pansy died in it though.
