History as prelude, yada yada yada. It's also interesting to note how many of the names that Coll writes still pop up in current news stories.

I'm also about halfway through Robin Buss's translation of <i>The Count of Monte Cristo</i>. I've got Michael Chabon's <i>The Yiddish Policemen's Union</i> hanging on the grapevine when I finish one or the other.
