(maybe you think I'm a -something negative-, due to my stance about religion.... maybe but.... ) have you read 'The Essays' by Michel de Montaigne? I think it's a book you like, I'mnotaparakeet. I consider it one of thee most precious books I have and he quotes and makes reference/refers a lot to the old school Greek and Roman thinkers and ventilates his thoughts about philosophers, leaders and others in those days. A lot.

I've read the thick b*stard in a good Dutch translation and I was amazed about his knowledge of those old cultures and perceptions outed for generations later on. Suit yourself of course but I'm quite sure it's a book you like, knowing you like Latin, old quotes and old leaders and philosophers.

I win.... having read the book, I think. (doesn't matter much though)


I don't even know your stance about religion in general or Christianity in specific. I don't remember you ever insulting me or my views personally, and that really would be all that would bother me. People are free to have their own beliefs, that's not something I mind. I see mine as true, though I'm certain everyone else does too. I'll defend my viewpoint if someone says something insulting about them, but it's not a problem to me that other people don't accept my viewpoint.

I haven't read that book, thanks for recommending it though. I'll check it out from the library.

One book that I intend to get is The Complete Roman Army by Adrian Goldsworthy.



Professional soldiers in the ancient world, for the win.

Only if he has the car with the voice of John Adams, otherwise he's just a lifeguard.
