Woot.
OMG I am SO so envious right now! I'd love to have a signed copy of "The Song of Troy" by Colleen McCullough - it's one of the best books I've ever read.

I'm glad I read it before the movie got released. It's always great to know all the background history before seeing the movie. I'm curious to see which historical parts they cut out and what parts they thought was important enough to include.
