A great book to read. Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield is about the battle between 300 Spartans and the Persian army of 2 million strong in 480BC (some people say there was a few thousand Greeks led by 300 Spartans and they were only up against 250,000 Persians, but whatever numbers you choose, it's amazing). It's a blood, guts and glory book that would appeal to anyone who likes war stories and/or historical fiction. It even got me a bit misty eyed (in a very manly way, of course). The silly, trashy movie, "The 300" was about the same battle. Right - now it's your turn to set up a blog.
