JonathanEdwards Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Let’s take a break and talk about anything but the admissions process. So what was the best or most challenging book you’ve read in the last academic year? I’ll start: For me, the book which most challenged my preconceptions was T. D. Barnes’ Constantine and Eusebius. As a bonus, it had the older smyth-sewn binding and would actually lay open when I set it on the desk. Your thoughts? tacotruck, foodtruck, TheHymenAnnihilator and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trin Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Let’s take a break and talk about anything but the admissions process. So what was the best or most challenging book you’ve read in the last academic year? Your thoughts? Oh, for me, Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah. I found a lovely used three volume set which I've been gradually working through. It's the translation -- I'm no where near being able to read it in Arabic. For non-school related stuff, the book I'm most excited about is Lev Grossman's The Magician King -- it's not due out until August 9, but I'm one of his beta test readers. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
