    NGL Hammond "History of Macedonia"
    Quem faz injúria vil e sem razão,Com forças e poder em que está posto,Não vence; que a vitória verdadeira É saber ter justiça nua e inteira-He who, solely to oppress,Employs or martial force, or power, achieves No victory; but a true victory Is gained,when justice triumphs and prevails.
    Luís de Camões

    Cantor's very pleasant to read. As well as some other stuff on sexuality which I shan't post images of here. Long and Sedley is great for philosophy; so is Inwood and Gerson.

    As a teenager, I was taken to various houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England, to be beaten, tortured and raped over 100 times. I was called a “white slag” and “white ****” as they beat me.

    Delhi by Kushwanth singh, A good book ,it can help you learn a lot about Medieval north India. Also it has a lot of mentions of his sexual escapades[honestly I think he should have called it "my sexual adventures in Delhi" and that could allow for an appropriate squeal " The STD's I caught in Delhi"]

    I couldn't resist of taking another King's book. This time a novel collection with 14 stories.

    Also got a couple of Osprey books, one on the Red Army 1944-45 and one on the HRE forces of the 30 Years War.

    Bought this using a token I received for Christmas. Hope it's good - this is a period I know only sketchy details of.

    I'll be adding this to my wishlist!

    It's an enjoyable read (and includes a section by Peter Brown)! I wish that some of the other contributors provided more citations, though. It would be more useful than the current, "One of the philosophers said that..."; GREAT. WHICH PHILOSOPHER AND WHERE *cries*
