In regards to Classical Greece, Rome, and China, anyone who directs you to a secondary source is your enemy.

Primary sources represent the one true fount of knowledge. Do not subordinate yourself to the musings of a degenerate modern author.

Tell me about SPQR by Mary Beard.
I picked up a copy randomly, but shied away when the author started in on gender identity within the first few pages.

Is it written through an ideological lens, or is it more unbiased and accurate?

>>3246406

I liked it a lot. As far as "gender identity" goes, she spends a section talking about the lives of Roman women, and that's as far as it goes. It wasn't gratuitous in my opinion, and I found it interesting enough.

My biggest word of caution about SPQR, is that it is very much about the society itself, and the ordinary lives of people in it, how the society was organized etc. If you're hoping to read about warfare, then avoid this book like the fucking plague. Because no war is discussed in detail, and when they are, it is always from a "societal" perspective. For example, she talks about the Punic wars only a way to demonstrate how wealthy the Roman State had become. The wars against Carthage were so expensive that they would have bankrupted any other government in classical world, several times over.

For me, it was the first serious book on the classical world I've ever read, and in my mind it was an outstanding introduction. Now I feel like I can go back and read the biographies of people like Caesar and Cato with a solid grounding in the "basics" of Roman society. The book I'm reading now, is actually "Carthage Must Be Destroyed" which is written in a very similar way, although unfortunately we'll never achieve the level of detail with Carthage as we have with Rome.

>>3247580
That does sound interesting actually. I'll give it another shot.

1. I don't like book lists that don't have any common theme or reason to them, and are just a random splotching of books.

2. I don't like ones that include multiple books on basically the exact same topic. I'd rather have 1 or 2 that are like overviews and then a few others with a narrower focus.

3. I think it is fundamentally silly to expect that anybody is actually going to read 20 books because a macro-image told them to. I think that 5 - 8 books is the realistic range where the image might actually be useful to somebody.

4. The books should have a common theme without being so similar that they reach a point of redundancy. They should focus on different people, different concepts, or different perspectives.

5. Chart should contain at least some sort of description of the different books because sometimes a book's title does not make it apparent what it is actually about.

Anyway, that's just my opinion for the book-chart community. I also made one for the Cold War.

>>3249571

That is a fantastic book, anon! Good choice.

I find it pairs well with "A Mouthful of Air" by Anthony Burgess.

Because Nixon was the one who opened up trade with China, and he's also the one who finally got America out of the Vietnam War. He's also just an interesting guy in general, as well as being a nice foil to Mao. I was conflicted as to have him or Mao and ultimately decided just to have both.

Audiobooks. You're welcome. Sometimes, I drive around town with no particular destination in mind just to listen to audiobooks.

Are there any good books about the Spanish Civil War?
