(no subject)
So here's the reading list for the coming year (one book per month). If you'd like to be the featured reviewer for the month (other reviews and discussions are, of course, welcome) then claim your book(s) in the comments!
Since we're two books short, I've added two more (starred). Any objections/other suggestions, do put them forward! :) Secondly, from January 1st posting will be open-access for all members so people can ask questions/discuss as they read the books. ANY SPOILERS MUST BE BEHIND A CUT.
January: The Golden Mean - Annabel Lyon
February: On Sparta - Plutarch (various translations available, including free online)
March: The War At Troy - Lindsay Clarke
April: The Red Tent - Anita Diamant
May: Gates of Fire - Steven Pressfield
June: Lord of the Silver Bow - David Gemmell
July: Finn Mac Cool - Morgan Llywelyn
August: The Olympic Charioteer - Helena Schrader
September: A Choice of Destinies - Melissa Scott
October: Fire from Heaven - Mary Renault
November: Metamorphoses - Ovid **
December: A Conspiracy of Women - Aubrey Menen ** (IF you can get hold of it. Otherwise, your own choice and your own review.)
