Yeah, that's typical human behaviour I guess. So much for progress huh?

As for your last, the "lies" comment; history is written by the victor, no doubt. I'm less inclined to allow my love of history to become overly politicised though, I don't want to taint my love of history and who was right if wrong or hard done by doesn't matter.

If you like reading, might I suggest, The Last Duel, by Eric Jager, based on a true event. It was made into a pretty good movie as well and one compliments the other quite nicely. Read the book first. Fascinating reading.

Thanks for the recommendation, but aside from medical articles and research papers, my reading material tends to be a bit more lowbrow; thrillers and police procedurals. You never know though. Perhaps one day I'll be stuck in a foreign airport that has only one english language book for sale. That's how I ended up reading Jilly Cooper's 'Riders.' I'll never forget the pain!

Ah ok, no worries then, we read what we want to and there's no harm in it. Maybe you'll be in that airport someday and the opportunity will present itself.
