[quote=""Susan""]Thanks, Sonja. Not yet sure if I will read the book or read my Kindle.[/quote]
I read the Cleopatra book on my Kindle. It would have been nice to have had the illustrations, but I can't say that I felt their absence. It might have been different if I had been reading for research instead of enjoyment, though.

I'm not sure how far I'll get, nor why I'm reading it in the first place, but I've started The Warlord's Bride by Margaret Moore. A King John era story according to Harriet

Thanks for your input, Susan. Egyptian royals are not in my normal range of royalty interest, so I guess I'd probably be fine reading it on my Kindle.

After looking at all the books in my TBR pile and looking at everything on my Kindle that I haven't read, I decided upon Great Maria by Cecelia Holland. I said to myself, "Let me just read a bit to see if I want to read it now." I read more that a little bit...the entire first chapter because I couldn't stop. I had originally gone upstairs to take a shower and my husband came up 1 1/2 hours later, surprised that I just came out of the shower. I did confess to him what I had been doing. Now I regret I have school work to do today and can't read.

I've finished "Myths of the Ancient Greeks" by Richard P. Martin (332pgs, 2003). An ok book, it would've been a faster read if I knew how to pronounce the more complicated names!
