Mythology by Edith Hamilton
Kind of dry, but informative, the way I likes it. She spent too much time on Greek mythology without addressing Norse mythology long enough. But that's because Odin is just plain cooler than Zeus.
Hercules: the complete myths of a legendary hero
He really was an idiot. I mean amongst the dimmest minds of ancient Greece; he probably couldn't work his way out of a paper bag.
Excavation by James Rollins
Okay. A little Michael Crichton for someone, who is, decidedly NOT Michael. Too much smoke and mirrors and really the plot was not strong enough to justify all of the pomp and circumstance of reading it. Now that I'm done trashing it. It was a fine attempt and I must admit was fun to read.
Haven't really decided what I'm going to start on yet either... Something playful...Probably some cheap whodunnit, like an Elizabeth George novel. I say that because my mother is shipping me about four Elizabeth George books because I liked the first. Good stuff.
