lethargic_manI have a copy of Herodotus sitting on my physical to-read list.
It's the only book I've ever been recommended by a god.

Funnily enough, I bought myself a copy (Wordsworth) of Antiquities of the Jews at the same time. (The Jewish War was already sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.)
