see The Darker Side of the Renaissance is something that i would buy for it's title, just owning a book like that would make me feel smarter. but unfortunately if the writing style is too academic my concentration span seems to reduce to that of an ADD afflicted goldfish.
the cod one looks ace! i like biographies of things instead of people...
