Never remind me of this lest I sheath my knife within thee

I love it when I read a book and fall so deep within the story, so in love with the characters and the style that its actually a physical pain for the story to be over. Been reading The Persian Boy' by Mary Renault and no its not the most historically accurate tale but theres something about it that I just adore. And I think alot of it has to do

LOL

I myself prefer the Alexandros trilogy by V. Manfredi, but... hehe

And, don't. Do not watch that movie. Bagoas appears for about 3 minutes. And Stone made Alexander a little girl that only cries, cries and cries.

Argh, thought Id replied before now and have realised that, like so very many things, my mind is determined Ive done something when i havent. Epic!fail

I was strong!!! No Alexander. Even if Angelina is super hot.Or she was, sort of fallen in the ranks of women I woldnt kick out of bed list. And though a friend offered to lend me theres, mwahahaha I am Collin Farell version ALexander free!

Im so sad at finishing "The Persian boy " and sort of thinking about reading "Funeral Games" but alot of why I loved P.B was the POV of Bagoas and Alexanders exploits both of which sort of missing in F.G what with Alexander being dead. So, did you enjoy the Alexandros Trilogy, because I always love good books recommended and really in a historical mood and I love Alexander. Must see if Library has copies/can bring them in from other boroughs if not! Im very excited, Id never heard of them, but I can get terrible tunnel visions about books-I'll know every big name in a genre, every "must read" title, and then sort of exhaust the ones Im interested
