Conn Iggulden's novels


I'm not a boy, I'm not a man, I'm not Roman, nor Mongolian--

nor did I live during the War of the Roses.

Maybe that's why I like reading Iggulden so much.  I discovered Bones of the Hills by accident in a bookstore wh I am now boycotting, bc they don't help writers.

Iggulden is just fantastic.  His Rome series are almost like Robert Graves' I Claudius. Yes, I said "almost" that's maybe a 1/2 star less than max of 5.

I think it's very dangerous for females to read romance novels--look what Jane Austen got me into.

Will never read romance novels again.  I read one Daniele Steele once in 1980s, won't read another either.
