I finished The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Ancient Greece a few days ago, and it was a highly enjoyable read. Lots of detail about the armor and weapons, how they fought, the carnage, etc. I was able to vivdly picture in my mind how it must have been. My only gripe is that he used a few quotes multiple times throughout the book.
I'm now about half way through the Zombie Survival Guide, and it is very funny, in a subversive way.
