    Actually the spartans did most of their fighting on land,sparta did not have much of a navy,if any.Athens was the big naval power at the time and between the spartan army and the athenian navy,with the help of other greek city states,they defeated the persian invading force.

    John Grisham

    I have read a few of his books and I must say that I found most of them very predictable,specialy The Pelican Brief and The Firm, the only one I liked was A Time to Kill.I prefer Scott Turow.

    Good books about the history of Rome.

    The Barbarian Invasions of the Roman Empire by Thomas Hodgkin although at seven volumes it's a lengthy read.

    King Arthur type books?

    A.A. Attanasio's The Dragon and the Unicorn , The Eagle and the Sword and of course Mary Stewart's The Crystal Cave,The Hollow Hills,The last Enchantment and The Wicked Day.Finally Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur,that's the book that most influenced the movie Excalibur.

    How much is too much?

    I find that I'm using the library more often, because of the high price of books but I also look at the classified pages in the paper for estate sales,most of them include books and if you show up early you can get some good selections at very cheap prices.
