Mark Onken, administrative library assistant A few weeks ago, I started an ambitious project. Both from watching HBO’s Rome, and from reading my daughter’s Percy Jackson series, I have been on a bit of a Roman history kick, and I have started to read Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans. I have read the first 200 pages (out of 1200), although I think I will give myself a break and read something a little less serious for a week. |
