Gleisdreieck posted:I am about to finish I, Claudius by Robert Graves which is based on the life on the Roman emperor Claudius. I am not enjoying it (except for a single part where his grandmother made fun of him and his gigantic bride, that was hilarious) and forcing myself to complete it otherwise it would nag me. It's like a YA novel and all the characters are plain, e.g., "this man was really mean, this woman was really nice" and so on. I would have loved it as a teenager, though. Augustus by John Williams is better. It's basically a bunch of people writing letters and diaries about what the gently caress is up with Augustus.
