I just came back from the South Holland Public Library today guys and I got two new books Mesopotamia: Invention of the City and The Fall of Carthage: The Punic Wars 265-146 BC. I'm actually revisiting the former since I got this book about three years ago but lacked the will to finish reading it whereas with the latter I've about more than halfway through the book. I've been reading the latter book by Adrian Goldsworthy ever since I went back to the library after not going there for a couple of years. During the time that I've stopped going to my neighborhood's library, I've been going downtown to the bookstore Barnes and Nobles which has been where I've got some of my books like The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt, The New Complete Works of Josephus and a translation of Herodotus' The Histories with a introduction by Donald Lateiner. I've also gotten some of my other books from various other places like Amazon from which I got my copy of Richard Bauckham's Jesus: A Very Short Introduction and Walter Burkert's Greek Religion and Ancient Mystery Cults which are both fascinating reads along with my copy of The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft from there as well. The book The Oxford History of the Bibical World came from my cousin R.C. Rowdy from Mississippi which I visited with my dad and some of my other family members in late June and early July of 2014.
Now that I'm going back to my neighborhood's library, I've been reading the books they have on classical history like The Oxford Classical Dictionary, skimmed through some of Adrian Goldsworthly's other book like Ceaser: Life of a Colossus. I may also ask them if they can get a copy of the Loeb Classical Library translation of books 18 and 19 of Josephus' Jewish Antiquities later on along with possibly asking them if they can get a copy of the LCL translation of his The Jewish War. Anyway, that's it for now.
