For the last two months I've been locked in Ancient Rome, with the Colleen McCullough series on Julius Caesar; three of the Conn Iggulden Roman series; Tacitus; Suetonius; Livy; an excellent new biography of Cicero of "Quam diu Catalina" third-year Latin fame; Ruth Downie's Medicus series; Lindsey Davis's Falco series; and I'm now rereading the John Maddox Roberts mystery series, having just finished Morris West's Clowns of God.
Steven Saylor's books are just hanging out on my shelves, gathering dust while waiting their turn.The best part is that every one of these books is great ! In addition to Donna Leon's mysteries, there are other literary and literate books set in Italy - Literary Fiction Set In Italy
Eat your heart out, Stephen King !
