The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - Edward Gibbon


Amazing.

i wish people were half as interested in the republic as they are with the empire.

the roman empire was shit. they conquered next to nothing. it was just full of political intrigue and madmen, and cuck leaders and tactics. oh the barbarians are back. oh atilla wants to kill everyone lets give him literal TONS of gold so he leaves us alone. etc. faggot shit.

the republic is the best era. read books on the punic wars or something. or even the decline of the republic, the triumvirate with caesar/pompey/crassus. before that with sulla/marius etc.

hundreds of years of rome BECOMING rome. not just a stagnant established rome. romans actually conquering territory, and not just scraping by to hold what better men gave them.

Havnt looked at this thread much..

Any dope horror style books youd recommend gi
Guys?

I mean i know king and koontz write great shit. Anyone on those lines youd suggest

66. Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari (4/5)

only two books on my entire list this year were fiction. last year I read an ok amount of fiction. Idk man, real life is scarier than any of those dumb stories in my opinion lol.

king is cool I guess, I read IT last year and that shit was super dope. but word I don't read much fiction these days and I don't typically gravitate towards the horror genre when I do.

It's a series that covers Rome. This was the 1st of 7 books, I believe. I'm sure he covers everything that has to do with Rome, guy.

Reading this book and the detail he incorporated, I'm pretty sure the rest are dope.

Bags let’s make a new thread I’m committed this time. One down 51 to go haha. I got 33 last year. @Ghost1. Will be stealing some of your higher ranked books from the last 12 months

im sure its dope but it only covers the empire, not the republic. i see it does go all the way up to the byzantines at least and doesn't pretend that rome was over when the west fell. but word it covers 90 AD to 1590. rome was founded in 750 BC so it leaves out about 800 years.

Haha my man.

I'll make a thread tomorrow
