Light Reading

I don't get much opportunity these days to read strictly for pleasure, but I've found some time to get into a few books over the past month.

"The Romanovs: The Final Chapter," by Robert K. Massie.
Spoilers: They're killed.

"The Trojan War: A New History," by Barry Strauss.
Spoilers: The Trojans lose.

"Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World," by Jack Weatherford.
Spoilers: The Mongol empire came & went.

"Socialnomics," by Erik Qualman.
Spoilers: He's in favour of the internet.

Now hold on there.

If the Trojans still lose, how is it a new history?
