I'll see myself out.
I just finished Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes. Interesting look at how the muslim world sees itself.
Now I'm reading A Short History of Nearly Everything. It's pretty fun for us Lib Arts peasants.
Yeah, gotta read about that event more sometimes as well. I like the anecdote of how the Khan took the Caliph to Baghdad's treasure chamber after taking the city and saw the chamber full of gold. The Khan said "you didn't use all this to save your people from me?" and locked the Caliph in the chamber to starve.
An anecdote that didn't happen I think, but a cool portrayal about the difference of nomadic and settled peoples.
I might've read it from here, it's a good book: http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Disrupted-History-Through-ebook/dp/B005EYEPB2
