Still reading Road to Hel, slowly (still tired even after having a brief nap this afternoon--yes, in the reading chair--no stiff neck this time, maybe I'm getting used to it :)) but surely. Finished the first chapter on archaeological evidence, beginning the chapter on literary evidence. One nice thing about Davison is that she doesn't make wild guesses, and she is always very clear about what's being deduced and what that deduction is based on, and she sometimes makes a point of giving alternative explanations. I really appreciate that in an author :).

*grins* I think that Davison does occasionally make wild guesses. She just doesn't do it *often* which is nice :) And she has a nice habit of telling you if she does.

*tries to think of an exact example, but can't*
