The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody
Will Cuppy
One of my favorite books of all time, funny, witty, and "irreverent".
Footnotes:
Hatsheput: "She wanted to be the boss whether anyone loved her or not. Some people are like that."
Pericles: "The very poorest citizens had a chance to become President, but somehow they didn't. It may have just been a coincidence."
Hannibal: "Livy informs us that Hannibal split the huge Alpine rocks with vinegar to break a path for the elephants. Vinegar was a high explosive in 218 B.C., but not before or since."
Lucrezia Borgia could be a favorite because of the recent tv series.
