I'm currently reading Twelve Caesars: Images of Power from the Ancient World to the Modern by well-known classicist Mary Beard which is fascinating and One's Company: A Journey to China in 1933 by Peter Fleming (Ian's brother, he gets a mention), which is an interesting snapshot but hurt by a smart-alecky tone.
I do love a good Mary Beard.
