A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuchman

5.0

I'm always more interested by how most people lived in history, rather than an account of battles or explanations of just the lavish lifestyles of the powerful. This book is such a great view of that type of history, and incredibly readable. I dip into it every once in a while and it really transports you to a different time where people are still the same as they always have been.
