The 'rents introduced me to this series last year. It is fan-freakin'-tastic!
Here's a brief intro from wiki; "Marcus Didius Falco is the central character and narrator in a series of novels by Lindsey Davis. Using the concepts of modern detective stories (with Falco as the private investigator, roughly translated into the classical world as a 'private informer'), Davis portrays the world of the Roman Empire under Vespasian. The tone is arch and satirical, but the historical information provided is carefully accurate." Read more here: Marcus Didius Falco - Wiki Post
I am currently on book # 10 Two for the Lions.
I can't wait to spend more of my pancetta and parm budget on books. Hmmmm... about the only thing that will make me drool as much as a good healthy hunk of cheese ... the sound of new book bindings being "kashhhheeeeeeeee" for the first time. (Yup, thats the technical term)
This series is also monumental in another way. It's prompted the unnatural. The unthinkable. The INCONCEIVABLE. I've returned books 1 - 3 to their rightful owners.
