Haha not really, the book is written like a diary of Tiberius (same with the Augustus one), just really first hand thoughts of him at all times (not an encompassing regular novel or bio like other historical fiction). Bit of a clever psychological study, and really is amazing how it depicts his intellect and morals, and his cronic melancholy.

Yeah the second part is about his retirement alot, but no it doesnt focus much on depicting his carnal activities (hardly at all), even if he ponders about his desires (homoerotic ones included), and briefly about his lovers. He had a slight special taste for German boys


It focused more on his Rhodes resort then Capri, which was just a bit at the end. And btw, Sejanus is awesome hehe. And also the noble Senators who decreed that we cant execute Sejanus little daughter because she is a virgin (it would be immoral!), so she has to be raped before she is killed

Such a great nivola. I'm reading Der Zauberbeg (or The magic mountain) by Thomas Mann. It's a long book, about 976 pages. Have you read it??

I'm reading now only Hemingway. Some times i want to weep, when i'm reading him. I think, he is best writer for me...

I read Bill Bryson's Mother Tongue recently. It's about the evolution of the English language. I found it fascinating.

I also read Iain Bank's The Steep Road to Garbadale. I though it was a bit under par for him.

Looks crazy. How does it read?

 

[Osman]

Like a best seller A very riveting read of the unstoppable force that was the Mongols (Ghenghis, 3rd book of his unreal life), thats the asian Spartans, but times 10, for you simple minded crackas


I posted the cover, instead of just say it, to hook in our friend Andy to reading books Is it working?

 

[Enron]

Sounds interesting. Just finished downloading Mongol as we speak. If you recommend it, I may have to try it out after I finish my current read.
