I am sorry. I have no vices for you to exploit.

Has anyone read Weavers, Scribes and Kings by Amanda Podany? It's been very readable but informative, definitely the best book covering ancient Mesopotamia that I've ever read. She also appears to be an academic historian so certainly the research feels sound. The book receives my solid recommendation if nothing else.

Is the Durant couple's Story of Civilization still the best attempt to cover most of human history in a widely accessible format? I read the first two books when I was younger and always meant to continue but they were not the kind of reading I could easily commit to in university
