that's very funny indeed.

I love that prize...

Came across a great book title yesterday while updating our bestsellers list:

City of the Sharp-Nosed Fish

(about Greeks living in Roman Egypt).

Actually I may get that one for DS1 who is obsessed with classical civilisation atm.

No, a proper legit history book: excerpt from LRB review But DS1 has quite grown-up taste when it comes to 'non-fiction'!

MaryAnnSingleton · 28/03/2008 13:07
