I hate to say it, but Munson you got one great degree in Art. I had to take 6 years of Art History, the full Western Civ series, plus cheat through French and Italian for my bogus MA in Art. Where did you go, UFR, University of Free Radicals?
By the way I tried to read outside my circle: The Bible and The Koran. I almost choked to death on my own vomit by Samuel II (David's Flight), and just couldn't make it through The Cow (first book of the Koran).
But I might go back to those `classics' and try again since I just finished Rashid's Taliban.
This Empire against That religious Fanatic, etc. One, two, three thousand years, and it all starts to sound the same after awhile.
