I'm currently reading four books at the same time. It's a bit of a long story.
Anyway, I recently read "The Thieves of Ostia", which is the first of the Roman Mysteries. This is a fantastic series for children, written by Caroline Lawrence. Lawrence is a scholar who studied ancient history. As a result, this series is full of historical details. I plan to check out the other books in the series. It's an easy way to learn more about ancient Rome, in a way that is fun and not boring.
I attempted to read "Tideland" by Mitch Cullin. I started reading it because it's going to be Terry Gilliam's next film. It's currently being filmed in Saskatchewan. However, I could not finish this book. It's a story of a young girl, Jeliza- Rose. The story is meant to be an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, but I found it both depressing and disturbing. In one scene, she has to cook up heroin for her father, and in another scene, her mother overdoses and dies. So I didn't finish the book, and I'm not sure if I want to see the movie.
