Reading Continues

Albeit slower than anticipated. I have moved on to my third and presumably last book of my winter reading. Ghosts of Vesuvius ends with a chapter on the WTC, so I decided to take up some lighter fare: The Spanish Inquisition.

How could it be lighter fare? No matter how angry I get about religious persecution, when I read/hear/think "the Spanish Inquisition"...I have to say/think, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

Plus my other choice was about Jewish ghetto life in Nazi Germany, and I really can't take that right now. So I chose the thousands dead in medieval history over the millions dead in recent history.

Not that the passage of time makes me less angry or sad, but the horror of Nazi Germany is a special kind of horrific.
