[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ah. Yeah, I'm not big on history, though I've taken a couple Ancient religion courses, Greece and Egypt, which covered some stuff given how religion featured in daily life. Some of my favourite things to read are just plain myth books, and they don't need to be fancy. The Illustrated Guide to Myths is one that I like because it covers many cultures and is sorted by type, such as creations myths, gods and animals, world ending myths, etc. The info they give is sparce, only a page or two on any particular myth unless it's really big, but so far it seems to be accurate.

I've also picked up a books on stories from Africa that I'm reading on occasions. The Woman Who Married a Lion it's called, by Alexander McAll Smith.
