I've added Gedge's book to my wish list.<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - I was really drawn into this book. It was the perfect book to pass the time in the jury room.<BR/><BR/>Trisha - It just took me until my adulthood to finally become interested in ancient history, that's all. I was never a fan of glossed over history classes. They seemed so incomplete and I'm sure that's the main reason I couldn't get into World Civ in high school.<BR/><BR/>I still love U.S. history though. I find it fascinating to see how we got to where we are today. How little things have changed and how far we've come.<BR/><BR/>Carrie K. - If you do give this one a try, I hope you will enjoy it!<BR/><BR/>I like to think that I've found the best of both worlds now that I'm older--U.S. history and ancient history. I like them both.<BR/><BR/>Katherine - Be careful or it might topple over!<BR/><BR/>Melody - I think you would like this one, Melody. Good luck in Stephanie's contest!<BR/><BR/>Laura - American history is so much a part of who we (those of us who are Americans, anyway) are--I think it's a good thing we are drawn to our own history. In recent years, I have been reading more about other countries and cultures and I have really enjoyed that aspect of history too. These days I want to know it all! Haha Impossible, but I'm just fascinated by so much.<BR/><BR/>Jen - The Discovery Channel is not one I stop at very often either, I admit. <BR/><BR/>Trish - It is becoming more rare, isn't it? Is it us or them, do you think?<BR/><BR/>Andi - I hope you will like it when you get to it.<BR/><BR/>Michelle - Thank you for the opportunity! I hope you are enjoying your time on the tour.<BR/><BR/>Iliana - I'm kicking myself because I didn't link your review. I'm going to remedy that right now. <BR/><BR/>Your point of Mutny is yet another reason I can so identify with her. Although I am not royalty and my family is in position of power, I have felt the pull between family and going my own direction many times. <BR/><BR/>Nat - And it was such an easy book to read.<BR/><BR/>Jaimie - How neat! I would probably be reading everything I could about Egypt too if I was going there as well. I know it's a little early to say this, but I do hope you have a great time.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-23451460037793678442008-06-21T06:55:00.000-07:002008-06-21T06:55:00.000-07:00Great review Wendy!
