Re: Recommend me some good historical reading

I ordered 1776 to start me off. Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming. If anyone has read a good, broadish book about the Roman Empire let me know, I find it fascinating.

I liked Julian by Gore Vidal a lot. It is considered fiction, but it is very historical. It is late in the Roman Empire (after Constantine), but it is a wonderful book.
In other historical books not involving the Roman Empire, one I enjoyed a lot was Persian Boy by Mary Renault. It is about Alexander the Great.
