Giving BookWyrm a try! Lately I've been reading a good bit of Economics, History, and Politics, but also enjoy SciFi.

I keep a much simpler reading list, but thought it may be fun to try something more functional and federated. You can also find me @rho@fosstodon.org

reviewed Rome's Last Citizen by Rob Goodman

Rob Goodman: Rome's Last Citizen (Hardcover, 2012, Thomas Dunne Books) 4 stars

Enjoyable

4 stars

Entertaining and approachable rundown of Cato's life and legacy. Takes some liberties with character motivations and thoughts, but I think does so to help stitch a narrative together.

The book can stand alone, though I think would be most enjoyable with some prior knowledge of the Julius Caesar / Fall of the Republic story.
