Today I've mostly been reading...
Apr. 27th, 2009 08:34 pmWhile I was spending six long hours waiting for #1 son to go through all his processing for the USAF, I was just waiting for him. I didn't get around to writing anything, despite having my notebook as it was just too noisy. TV on (tuned to Fox News, no less), and constant chatter from several different conversations around me, so I gave up on that pretty quickly.
But I had a book with me...in fact two books, but I never got to the other as I was quickly engrossed in the first, getting 200 pages in with ease.
"Ghengis: Lord of the Bow" by Conn Iggulden. And it's a novel about, well, Ghengis Khan obviously, and his campaign into China with his Mongol horde. The very basics are historical, but much of the characterisation and supporting characters are fiction. Still, that doesn't spoil the story. It's a quick and pleasurable read with plenty of action and interesting characters, including the Khan, and his brothers. And needless to say it has my Hunnish muses very much interested. And it really provoked a hankering in Hsu for the Steppes days of pillaging, burning and raping. A very fun read with Himself adding his own commentary.
