A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor
5.0
'100 Objects' is like one of those rich desserts that you know is too much to eat all at once and yet it's just so good that you keep eating and eating and you save it in the fridge because you're DAMN sure that you'll finish it eventually if you keep chipping away at it, and it stays fresh, and then you finish it and you're completely amazed that you ate the whole thing.
And it makes you want to go out and eat other similar desserts. It's like that.
It was dense and fascinating. I really enjoyed it. It can't be read quickly. You've got to savor it in small doses. I absolutely want to read more history now, although the only other history I have handy is Theodotus, and that's a different kind of density.
