Ancient Greece Anyone?
I’m a huge fan of Historical fiction, mainly ancient Greece so for me (Lissa) this week will be devoted to Book Reviews on Greece. Enjoy!

“Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.”
—T.S. Eliot

“Villefort opened the door and fled, for he was seized with the impulse to choke out of the old man the little life that remained to him.”
This excerpt is from The Count of Monte Cristo and the man Villefort wanted to choke out was his own father! This urge was raised by the father revealing a secret which foiled a marraige deeply desired of the son between his daughter and a man she does not love. Maybe I’m a terrible person but when I read those words I couldn’t stop laughing! Even now I smile thinking about it.
