Citoyenne la traductrice jacobine

Worse still (because it's not like I would ever take recommendations like that from a stupid online bookstore), I am pretty much being compelled to read a rabid revisionist for my history paper, even though it isn't a paper on historiography. This is what my professor had to say on the subject, essentially:

"So, I'm recommending *cough* that you read this book by Hertzberg. I should warn you that he argues that the French Revolution was directly responsable for the Holocaust. No one believes this anymore. (Me: Good to know. *blinks*) But he's still a good source for this period and you need to read him. Why yes, I am pretty much implying that this is required, why do you ask?"

Now granted, in the essay, I'm going to completely slaughter all his arguments with the help of my good friend Losurdo. But. It will still be excruciatingly painful to read him. I have no idea how I'm going to be able to concentrate and/or not explode. ARGH.

.........On the other hand, I'm trying to be happy. It is Earth Day, after all, and I like Earth Day. Moreover, it's my birthday tomorrow and I'm finally turning 18, so that's something to be excited about, I suppose. (I know, I sound really thrilled. But this stupid revisionist crap I have to read is weighing on me. D: )

Also, Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Not-So-Great for the lose. Why couldn't by Greek History class have stayed in the Classical period? D:

Okay, I'll stop whining now, I promise. And you know what? Have another scene from "Brutus et Cassius." Though I know you probably don't want it. >.>
