If you've read Thinkers, you'll know what to expect from this - greatwriting, and some diverting conversations with great figures fromhistory.As is explained in the intro - this book has some differences from thefirst one. There is less of an "exploration" aspect to it, and we alsoget to meet more female historical figures. This is something that Iparticularly enjoyed, as I think that I found the women slightly moreengaging on the whole. This book also branches out into more diversefields, taking in composers, writers and saints, among others.Whether you believe in the supernatural, or are just a fan of thefantasy-historical-characters-dinner-party game, this book isentertaining and beautifully written. Next time can we have some badguys? I know it's not the object of the exercise, but I'm stillitching to hear from them...
