I had hit a bit of a dry spell with books lately. I enjoyed one of the recent books (The Voices, by FR Tallis) but otherwise haven't been enjoying much of what I've read since early June.
That all ended, triumphantly, with I, Claudius. I have avoided this book since my youth. Always seeing it in book stores when I perused fiction and literature, always listed on top 100 books ever written. I thought it looked dense and sounded boring, the cover was always just a bust of Claudius and made it look impenetrable.
Well, I'm an idiot. One of the best books I've ever read, struggled not to put it all away in one sitting. Could not get enough of of this one, hated that it ended.
Wonder what other books I've let go for decades out of sheer ignorance?
