Deadly Election by Lindsey Davis (historical fiction mytery 2015)

Excellent romp, great fun.  I like this third book in the series very much.  The mystery is great and the character development this time around is central.

The Field of Swords, A Novel of Julius Caesar by Conn Iggulden (historical fiction 2005)

Really first-rate masculine violent historical fiction.  Mr. Iggulden does have a great resource in Caesar's own histories.  I enjoyed this book very much.

Neither Here nor There by Bill Bryson (travel memoir 1993)

I read this based on more than one recommendation.  People said it was really funny, but it wasn't good for me until the very end.  It was a lot of complaining.
