Starting to read the Marcus Didius Falco books by Lindsey Davis. I finished Silver Pigs, which was a re-read from about twelve years ago when I had an Ancient History class and it was required reading. Now I'm on to Shadows In Bronze. The Falco books are detective stories (he's called an "informer") that take place during the reign of Vespasian in Ancient Rome, and Falco ends up working for the Palace. They are quick reads, the stories are good and there's a lot of stuff about everyday life in Ancient Rome during the first century AD.

I'm currently reading The Cardinal by Henry Morton Robinson, written around 1950. It's basically about a working-class American's rise to become a cardinal in the Catholic Church and his daily trials and tribulations. I'm only 11% in but am enjoying it so far.
