    What is next?

    Sonja recommended: http://www.amazon.com/History-Histories-Chronicles-Inquiries-Thucydides/dp/0375413111

    It is not available at the VPL, it would seem they don't have it in their collection. Chapters has it: [img src="http://cpb.ca/history.png" /]

    http://is.gd/qnoK it is also available (different Penguin Classic's editions make it hard to link to one from Chapters)

    Which? Capital is highly relevant. History of Histories seems cool too.

    Some people suggested novels.

    I would go for History of Histories, I'm already halfway through. It's a mildly-hard but interesting read.

    Catch-22 would be good too, or Ender's Game!

    Oh, I like the idea of the History of Histories! Andrew and I had initially discussed alternating a nonfiction with a fiction book but I do really like the sound of this one.

    I like the idea of all of them, so I think should make the executive decision and we should get on the reading...hopefully the entire book this time :)

    History of Histories it is. Then maybe a fiction to change it up?
