To Africa?

The title is from Cabaret. I finished the Pears this a.m. A semblence of breeze and Hank Jones an ideal sum. The novel is better than I feared though I remain suspect as to its utility to the Roman History. I will now go and read the review on Complete review which I believe afforded it a B+. While I cringed at the cameo from Picasso, it was certainly a refreshing take as opposed to Quicksilver, with which I share the sentiemnts of Brandon.

I will begin the Amis bio this week but as for now I may occupy myself with either Lane Fox (I bought his bio of Alexander yesterday) or perhaps that book on Verdun. I can't say for sure.
