Bruce Campbell has a book?! Now I have to learn how to read...

...That's one for the to-read list to be sure. Right now, I've got a huge book on Persian arms that desparately needs reading. It covers from the Bronze Age to the end of Qajjar dynasty (mid 1920's when the last shah's father took over Persia from the last Qajjar ruler). Definitely not a book you can lug into the bathroom and read on the throne unless you're prepared for a World's Strongest Man endurance feat on the can (and I don't want my family to hear me grunting "Icelandic!" while I'm on the terlet trying to read about Shah Ismail Safavid or the Seljuq occupation. For that matter, I don't want to call the author and confide that I gave myself an upset tummy just to read the next chapter. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> )
