Charlemagne by Johannes Fried
2.0
DNF. ~30%
I love history. I love learning about past civilizations and great rulers. And I've heard about Charlemagne for years but never really delved in. Well, I saw this book and decided to finally bite the bullet.
Except, this book didn't tell me much. And I get that a lot of that is due to the sources being destroyed or non-existent, but I'm not sire why this book was so long, when it really doesn't cover Charlemagne much at all.
Many of the parta that I thought were interesting would get going...and then stop because no information was available, or divert into a tangent on something else.
