Libraries in the Ancient World   Lionel Casson
History of libraries from Alexandria to the beginning of the middle ages. Too much emphasis on the physical layout, cataloging techniques, and who the librarians were at the expense of what the libraries contained. Author sounded like all the librarians I have known. But not a total waste.

Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life   Jon Lee Anderson
Well researched, well written, exhaustive biography of the iconic 60s revolutionary. Che has always fascinated and intrigued me because of his politics, idealism, and personality, even more now that I have worked through this nearly 800-page work, though now there is sadness mixed with my interest. Very good.
