Theta9:
Started A Short History of World War I by James Stokesbury a couple days ago. iBooks edition on my iPad.
TheEvilDog:
Got the Count of Monte Cristo on my tablet, I think I'll be using it for train journeys. Like tomorrow.
LTK:
It's a really engaging book! It also interesting how it portrays the society and mores of the time, given that it takes all its characters from the idle rich. Their way of interacting is so strange, I struggle to believe that people of that era were truly so overdramatic.
Cornelius:
If I remember correctly - it's been a while since I last read it - many started from more or less humble beginnings. It's all Dantes' circle throughout. So, it's really the nouveau riche.
As for how they act, there's some evidence that people really did act more emotionally in that day and age. I'll see if I can dredge up that study.
JoeCovenant:
I've had Terry Pratchett and Steven Baker's "The Long Earth" for ages, but didn't want to read it as I knew it was the first of a series... but then I was in "the Works" (weird stationery/art supplies/bookstore) and they had the full run of five books for a mere tenner!
So... now I have two copies of The Long Earth!
Just started it, and it reads very well... looking forward to it! :)
