My teaser this week is from Death: A Life by George Pendle:
“So to set the scene for my downfall: the Romans were up, the Greeks were down, the Jews were in and out of captivity, the Chinese were building walls, and the Arabs were eating so many colored mushrooms it was doubtful they were even on this planet at all. It was a warm day in the Middle East and I was touring Earth picking up my usual quota of beggars, lepers, princes, merchants, leeks, kestrels, and kumquats when I found myself drawn to the site of a crucifixion…”
– from page 129 of Death: A Life by George Pendle

@ Jean : I am liking it – it’s a different pace than my normal read, but very interesting and very funny. 🙂
Better than I thought it would be actually.

Wow, I really should get this book and start reading it. Have we set a book club date? The weekend of Dec. 19th is no longer good for me.
