solitude sunday

solitude sunday at the whimsey project.  our day to spend time with a book.

having completed the volume about the greeks, today i began the fifth volume of thomas cahill's hinges of history series; mysteries of the middle ages.  thus far i am still in ancient greece and rome as prelude to how the greco-roman civilization made the way possible for the middle ages to occur.  cahill discusses how the romans became italians and how the greeks and romans formalized christianity.  it's great how each volume of this series builds upon each other by way of a recap/introduction into the main topic of each book.  it's so much more of a learning experience.
