I love to read and I love history. Mostly Ancient history and civilizations. Some history books are so boring though and I quickly lose interest. I want to find books on history that will capture my attention and will be difficult to put down. Are there any books like these? Are there also any history books that follow a story line? For example a fiction book that has a lot of historical facts about the place and times? I need books that will keep me interested.

So they don't act irrationally? Instead of letting your emotions control your actions, you teach yourself to have the emotion yet retain your faculties and do the logical thing?

I know plenty of places to research convicts transported to Australia, but I recently came across an ancestor who was sentenced to transportation in 1771. Since this was a bit too early for Austarlian transportation, I assume that she was transported to either North America or the Caribbean (or were there other places that convicts were sent?)

What next? Are there any helpful websites that deal with this subject? Are there any places that list the convicts that were transported, or the names of any convict ships?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

House of Glass

i stand inside
viable to anyone outside
but yet i go unseen
the wind is visable to me
the rays of the sun touch my skin
i look up at its warmth
see my children in thier room playing
see my husband staring back at me
looking into my soul
seeing how much of me goes unseen
seeing the things hidden
the things no one else sees
my skin relishes in the warmth of his heart
projected from his heart
i spin around
my home is all i see
the walls no longer glass
no one sees me but me
i franticly go up stairs
i find my children happily playing in thier rooms
i walk to my own room and find my husband reading
when i enter the room he looks at me
the same way he had when i had just seen him
he has always seen those things
i never knew he saw
he knows me inside and out
no longer am i in the glass house

All right, guys. Here’s a question for everyone.

Rome developed a civilization that she (Rome) borrowed from Greece. She incorporated Greek culture into the empire with little, some, or great deal of modification. Describe the Greco-Roman world and the modifications necessary to make a fit. How did posterity benefit?

What did Rome take from Greece?
What kind of modifications? Military? Education? Politics? Laws?
How did the future generations benefit from the Roman Empire?

Why do so many people say it is "wrong"? I agree it is not as special or meaningful, but why is it wrong just because it is fun? What is the logical or basic moral reasoning behind the hatred towards casual sex? As long as the sex is protected, and there in no cheating involved in it, what is "wrong" with casual sex?
