About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

Splendors of the Past: Lost Cities of the Ancient WorldSplendors of the Past: Lost Cities of the Ancient World by John Carswell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is one of many from The National Geographic Society on my bookshelf that I promised to read when I retired. I enjoyed the photography before, and now I enjoy the text.
There are more than 250 photographs on its 295 pages. I had the good fortune to visit Pompeii to see even more than the writer discusses. The rest of the book is great for armchair traveling.
