Another blog (this time on books)

It has been quite some time since I posted anything on this blog largely because most of what has been going on has been either far too boring or far too private to share on the web. Anyway just lately circumstances have changed and I seem to have time for more leisure activities.  One of those leisure activities has been reading  something that I always love to do but sadly rarely get the time. This year for fathers day the kids got me a couple of books one of which was Imperium By Robert Harris.  A few years ago I also read Pompeii  which was a really enjoyable read.  Returning to Robert  Harris's  semi fictional Roman world has been fantastic in fact I finished Imperium  in record time  and quickly downloaded the Kindle version of the sequel (Lustrum).  I'm not going to go into detail on what goes on in the books   that in short  they are fictional accounts of the background to the actual political events surrounding the Roman Empire.
