All of the recent news got me interested in checking this one out. The movie was great and I've heard good things about this.



quote:

One day after the end of Heat, Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) is holed up in Koreatown, wounded, half delirious, and desperately trying to escape LA. Hunting him is LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). Hours earlier, Hanna killed Shiherlis’s brother in arms Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) in a gunfight under the strobe lights at the foot of an LAX runway. Now Hanna’s determined to capture or kill Shiherlis, the last survivor of McCauley’s crew, before he ghosts out of the city in this suspense thriller.

Interesting title. How can it take you through the fall of Byzantium if it ends with the first crusade?

I am currently reading The Three Musketeers. I'm about 3/4 of the way through. It's really good, but not as good as The Count of Monte Cristo which spurred me to stick with Dumas. Still, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and would recommend it to anyone. I am curious to know if people on this board have read the other 2 d'Artagnan stories (the story of d'Artagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later). I may start a thread asking if nobody sees this post.

just borrowed the 2nd book in the series and they changed the fricking narrator.

This is criminal and should be punishable by death



I think I have to return the book

Good question lol. I’m doing the audiobook and only on chapter 2 (of 12). There is a podcast called The History of Byzantium that I listen to intermittently. It’s very good and eventually I’ll finish it, but there are hundreds of episodes so I take breaks. Anyway, this author was interviewed on that podcast so I bought his book.

Instead of a broad survey of centuries of Byzantine history, it’s focused on 900–1100. It’s generally thought that after the rise of Islam, Byzantium just started its slow steady unabated decline. But there was that time period of about 950-1071 when Byzantium reasserted itself, reclaimed lost lands, and was on the march. That ended at Manzikert and from then on it really was a decline. After losing it’s Anatolian heartland, the total fall of Byzantium was inevitable.
