The Tomb of Alexander | 
pickI had the pleasure of meeting the author--grandson of the iconic writer--& discussing his work with him at length--he works at NYC's Met as a Classical Mediterranean curator (#signededition). The book is a bit choppy, but the story is gripping and kept me engaged throughout. This will remind you of "The Da Vinci Code", but more believable. You'll learn a lot in this quick read, which I recommend. #PairWith: Kourtaki Kouros red wine, room temp.
Lizpixie I loved ancient history at school, at one point I wanted to be an archeologist specialising in Egypt & Mesopotamia. It just fascinates me still, the library at Alexandria, the mongol hordes, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Nero, Pharaoh Akhenaten. It's so absorbing. I should have gotten my degree and gone on digs. 8y
