Status Updates From Augustus

Got the rec from TikTok- some history book tok guy who has similar interests as me named it as a great book so I’m giving it a shot- I don’t often have luck with TikTok Recs.

Didn’t realize it was written in letters surrounding the main character….though maybe I should have because Stone by the author is all letters right? Hoping I enjoy it.

Plan is to prep for a dive into Augustus for some non fiction

I still must read John Williams first book, but he does not consider that in his literature canon. However, I saw it fit to read Augustus first. This book may only be 300 pages, but like all his other works it is an epic. Incredible and devastating. By book iii you almost feel a brotherly kinship to octavious Caesar despite only reading his perspective at the very end. A masterwork.
