It's a shame. The ERE/Byzantine Empire is criminally underappreciated, even now. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 25/06/2017 02:35:53 AM

I've read a bit of Norwich and found his writing a little embellished for my tastes--how is it in its unabridged form?

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
