Jack Aubrey Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/51670000/51675927.JPG QUOTE The Spartacus War is the extraordinary story of the most famous slave rebellion in the ancient world, the fascinating true story behind a legend that has been the inspiration for novelists, filmmakers, and revolutionaries for 2,000 years. Starting with only seventy-four men, a gladiator named Spartacus incited a rebellion that threatened Rome itself. With his fellow gladiators, Spartacus built an army of 60,000 soldiers and controlled the southern Italian countryside. A charismatic leader, he used religion to win support. An ex-soldier in the Roman army, Spartacus excelled in combat. He defeated nine Roman armies and kept Rome at bay for two years before he was defeated. After his final battle, 6,000 of his followers were captured and crucified along Rome's main southern highway. The Spartacus War is the dramatic and factual account of one of history's great rebellions. Spartacus was beaten by a Roman general, Crassus, who had learned how to defeat an insurgency. But the rebels were partly to blame for their failure. Their army was large and often undisciplined; the many ethnic groups within it frequently quarreled over leadership. No single leader, not even Spartacus, could keep them all in line. And when faced with a choice between escaping to freedom and looting, the rebels chose wealth over liberty, risking an eventual confrontation with Rome's most powerful forces. The result of years of research, The Spartacus War is based not only on written documents but also on archaeological evidence, historical reconstruction, and the author's extensive travels in the Italian countryside that Spartacus once conquered.

How great it was took my by surprise, even... in fact, I'll probably go reread it after I finish Castle, before I head on to the Trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostGirl Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 QUOTE (Mara @ Mar 8 2010, 11:33 AM) Re-reading Wuthering Heights. It's much better now that I am reading it of my own free will! Heathcliff is one mean motherfu@(ker! I read that last year and enjoyed it a lot... I just finished Catching Fire, the second in the Hunger Games series recommended by my 12 year old. I enjoyed these first two books a lot. Kerry tells me a third is in the way. From wiki: It [the original book] introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless and evil Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains. Next, I'm reading Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Driscoll is another guy that our pastor has introduced us to. He sent out an email with a link to a Driscoll sermon to watch for our Man Class (living like a Biblical man, big theme is David's mighty men- so awesome!), and it was intense! Very good observations he made on the sissified church in America today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Z5YA8Y2CL._SL500_.jpg Just picked up this book. I've read books on the current situation in Congo and Sudan, as well as books on African colonialism and the Rwandan genocide, but I have been largely in the dark on the devestation that occured in Cambodia following the Vietnam War. All I know is that something along the same magnitude had occured. The author that wrote this currently works in Eugene with Cambodians suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
