A History of Ancient Egypt: From the First Farmers to the Great Pyramid by John Romer

Are you enjoying it?
Best book I've read on the subject so far.

Would you recommend it?
To everyone that is interested in the origins of the Ancient Egyptian civilisation, yes!

What's it about?
The origins of the Ancient Egyptian civilisation, or what can be classed as 'Ancient Egyptian civilisation' from the Neolithic farmers in the Faiyum right up until the Great Pyramid was built in c. 2560-2540BC.

Silver Linings Playbook, I wasn't a huge fan of the film but thought I'd give it a go as I usually read the book before watching the film and usually enjoy the book more. It's not excellent but not bad, deff better than the film (although missing that jenlaw action)
