I just finished two excellent books, highly recommended:
Empires of the Sea: The Siege of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto and the Contest for the Center of the World
Learn more about how Catholic Europe (with the exception of the perfidious French) used to be.
and...
Jefferson's Vendetta: The Pursuit of Aaron Burr and the Judiciary
It's always fascinating to read about the contentious jockeying that transpired between Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall; two distant cousins who utterly loathed one another.
