Books Ordered and Received!!

Is there a greater joy -- materially speaking -- than receiving books in the mail? I got and read Paul Cartledge's Sparta I am in the middle of Donald Kagan's Peloponnesian War and have VD Hanson's A War Like No Other and 1776 by McCulloch.

Kagan's book is very insightful -- more later and in depth. Can't wait to start Hanson's book.
