I'm trying to start the Spanish translation of Conn Iggulden's series on Rome at the moment. I read the English version a long time ago and enjoyed it. I've been struggling to get into anything recently, fiction or nonfiction. So I'm hoping that a book I know that I'll like will get me going again.

Still, I've been slowly working through Roland Boer's excellent, Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners. But I can only manage a section of a chapter at a time. I'm just busy really, and my attention span is currently in pieces.

The book I'm eager to read is Dig Where you Stand. Translated into English not too long ago. I think it's about workers' inquiry.

Read A Song of Ice and Fire.

I can get you started.

That's a good book! You might be right about giving it another look. It's been a long time since I read it and I never watched the series, so I can't remember the detail, which means all the plot twists will be fresh enough.

It's a series of novels, but yes, they're all good books, especially Book 5 (which is my favorite).
