Thanks.
I hate ebooks as well and never dl that stuff. But the book I'm searching for doesn't seem to be in russian translation and be sold anywhere here even in original language. And I can't be bothered by ordering it online from some other country.

Should be good. I've just finished reading Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion and Dennett gets lots of mentions.

Some ancient history books I enjoyed:

Rubicon by Tom Holland
Rome and Jersulam by Martin Goodman
Augustus by Anthony Everitt
The Rise and Fall of Alexandria by Justin Pollard
The Ruin of the Roman Empire by James O'Donnell
