1215: the Year of the Magna Carta

After all that fiction I thought I should feed my brain some more nonfiction, so I read "1215: the Year of the Magna Carta" by Danny Danziger and John Gillingham. It was about King John and how he was so horrendous his barons forced him to sign the Magna Carta, guaranteeing them certain rights. It should have been interesting, but frankly it bored me. I don't know if it was the authors' writing styles or what. The subject matter was certainly interesting: it went into pretty good detail about what England was like in the early 1200s. I think I'm just anxious because of all the books coming out this summer that I'm waiting for: next Tuesday is Janet Evanovich's 14! Yeah!
