Today I&#8217;ll say my favorite is The Landmark Thucydides. It&#8217;s a history of the war between Athens and Sparta and a lot of it is about armies moving back and forth around really small towns in every part of ancient Greece. What makes me love it is the maps, which show you where all those places are, and the chapters explaining all of the things about Greek armies the author assumes you know. Least favorite? We&#8217;ve got some stuff on eugenics that was classified as science when it was published in the 19th century&#8211;not even going to name names. My fave is the red book on the shelf to my left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try not to play favorites and I also love lots of different kinds of books, so if you ask me on another day I&#8217;ll probably give a different answer.
