Am currently on an ancient history bender, you all ought to read Herodotus and Thucydides once in your life, if you can find the time.

Ancient history is dope

Do you like the penguin and Oxford classics translations for Roman primary sources?
I've been wanting to read the first book of Livy, and perhaps Tacitus, sallust, and Suetonius.
I recommend the history of Rome podcast if you haven't listened to it.

I personally buy Oxford classics when I can. They usually are more professionally written and stick to the core of the book instead of Penguin, who I've found are very fond of inserting 100 page prefaces whilst shortening the actual books down significantly.
John Reed
The covers are also nicer. I like the uniformity. Looks good on a shelf. Those academic prefaces can be nice but not if the actual text is sacrificed.

I like to challenge myself with reading, so when I see a book has 600 pages instead of 500 I get interested automatically.
But when I find out those extra hundred pages are filled with "what did x mean by y on page z", it feels as though I am paying for an index all while not getting the full value of the book. So yeah go for Oxford

I've been on a WW1/WW2 kick, myself. Also almost done with Gulag Archipelago.

I'm jealous of people who can read that much.

Did you read any accompanying texts for these roman historians or did you jump right in?
I've been seeing a lot about Solzenhitzyn on here. I have a copy of ivan denisovitch that I haven't gotten around to reading yet. How are you liking gulag archipelago?

I've enjoyed it a lot, gives you good insights into just how bad things can get under a communist dictator and how badly a population can be transformed to work against its own people.
It gets a bit confusing keeping track of all the russian names and locations though.

Don't really recommend this, but I'm surprised at how it sounds like Sup Forums
