I'm in desperate need of reading material. I just finished reading this totally sloppy and pointless memoir so now I need something good to whet my appetite. I'm open to any and all recommendations. Go hog wild.

PS I'm serious. Help a sister out.

Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire!

Only read up to the reign of the Emperor Theodosius the Great, however- after that Roman political history becomes inextricably tied up with ecclesiastical history, and it's about 50-50 cool stuff and church crap. If you want something more uplifting, however, Titus Livius's History of Rome is also quite good.
