I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM
My home stands on one of the battlefields discussed and so I was trying to find out if, from a superstition perspective, I should expect to come down to the kitchen some night for a glass of water and see a British soldier standing there looking at me. So far it's been quite disappointing. Anyway, the reason I mention this is because yes, the book is focused on the military aspects of things.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 650 Views
Re: I liked 1776 and try The Johnstown Flood. One of my best reads for last year *NM* - 11/01/2010 03:33:24 PM 326 Views

I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 628 Views

I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 627 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 290 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 590 Views

Why would one do a new edition of a book that old - and that short - in hardcover? - 11/01/2010 05:00:04 PM 641 Views
