I suspect that blogging will be sporadic, at best, in the near future: My roommates have given me the first three volumes of Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire! I've wanted to read it for the longest time, so I'm eternally grateful. God bless them both!
And if anyone's reading this today, Happy Easter!

I've read Collen McCullough's "Masters of Rome" series, which is about of the fall of the Roman republic which in itself is 6 books, very well written and researched and a glimpse into the creation of the Roman empire by Augustus.
While Gibbons' is on my reading list, I'd love to know where in history it begins and ends and though most people seem to love it, I'd like to have some real comments from someone who's read it.
